How Important is it to Educate Kids on AI?

This Women in AI Podcast episode is with Juliet Waters, Chief Knowledge Officer at Kids Code Jeunesse, a Canadian charity with a mission to give every Canadian child access to digital skills education, with a focus on girls and underserved communities. KCJ teaches kids and their educators about topics including algorithm literacy and artificial intelligence, and how these integrate with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals to give kids the confidence and creative tools they need to build a better future. Listen to the podcast here. Thank you so much for joining us for the Woman in AI Podcast today. You're currently Chief Knowledge Officer at Kids Code Jeunesse so I wanted to, first of all, for any of our listeners that are not maybe familiar with KCJ, ask if you could share a brief overview. Sure, so we started a Canadian charity in around 2013, working alongside teachers in classrooms, trying to help develop some viable lesson plans that would help to bring computer programming into the classroom.
