Luzia who? What rural Colombian girls taught me about the future of AI companions
What happens when rural Colombian girls know more about AI companions than digital literacy educators do?
I was recently in rural Colombia running our “Click” program at beBold, an organization I co-founded to equip people with tools to be bold in a changing and noisy world. Our Click program seeks to develop critical socioemotional, digital and life design skills in youth, particularly girls and young women, helping them become bold digital citizens who can navigate technology responsibly while strengthening their in-person human relationships.
