As AI reshapes the world, how do we equip people to shape it responsibly?

She shares how new frameworks developed through collaborations with UNESCO and educational institutions are helping organizations across sectors design pathways for wider access to AI learning. The goal is not just technical training but also fostering the mindsets and understanding needed to ensure AI brings benefits to all.
