Je suis repartie en réfléchissant moins à ce que l'IA peut faire et plus à la manière dont elle se manifeste lorsque les jeunes ont vraiment besoin de soutien.

Ce que m'a appris la création d'une IA conversationnelle plus sûre pour la santé mentale des jeunes La semaine dernière, j'ai eu l'immense honneur de participer à un hackathon national novateur, axé sur le développement d'une IA plus sûre pour la santé mentale des jeunes.

When inclusion ships: A product launch with purpose As product leaders, we talk a lot about inclusion. But every so often, we get to ship it.

“When inclusion ships: A product launch with purpose” is now published in Bootcamp on @medium.com medium.com/design-bootc...
