Episode 4 – Everyday Users, Extraordinary Influence | AI Ethics Deep-dive

You don’t need to code to make a difference in how AI is used.

In this episode of The Tinker Table, we spotlight teachers, nurses, caregivers, and small-town entrepreneurs who are using AI tools in thoughtful, powerful ways—raising questions, catching bias, and making tech more human-centered.

We’ll unpack:

• ​How everyday users influence AI outcomes
• ​The 3 essential questions anyone can ask about AI tools
• ​Why gatekeeping in tech leaves out critical voices
• ​And how you belong in the conversation—even if you're not a tech expert

This is part 4 of our 5 part deep dive into AI Ethics. It’s all about reclaiming your agency in a world shaped by algorithms.

You don’t have to build the system to help change it. You just have to start asking better questions.
