SUMMARY:The AI Strategy Lab for Social Justice Advocates: Critical analysis and grounded decision making for our collective future
DESCRIPTION:AI Strategy Lab for Social Justice Advocates is a live\, online learning series designed for change agents who want to understand AI with more groundedness\, clarity\, and rigor. We are here to slow down the panic and give you a clear place to process the complexity. Across four live sessions\, we will move beyond hype\, panic\, and abstract concern to building a solid foundation for understanding what AI is\, how it works\, and how to make sense of the range of opportunities and harms that exist. We will examine concrete case studies\, practice making complex decisions around AI usage\, intervention\, and accountability\, and restore agency by creating practical options beyond all-or-nothing. You will leave with better questions\, immediately useful tools\, and more confidence to participate in shaping our future. \nAI systems are already being embedded into schools\, workplaces\, media\, and everyday decision-making at a speed and scale we simply cannot ignore. \nThis series is an invitation to locate yourself in the struggle. \nYour expertise already matters. This course will help you understand where and how to use it. \n✅ CLASS 1. AI Fundamentals: Current technical and ethical landscape       June 4\n✅ ​CLASS 2. The Dual Edge of AI: When opportunity meets systemic harm  June 11\n​✅ CLASS 3. Grounded Decision Making: Choices beyond all or nothing      June 18\n​✅ CLASS 4. Collective Courage: Building sustainable conditions                 June 25 \nYou will leave with a set of tools\, frameworks\, and principles necessary to evaluate AI’s impacts (both good and bad) and make grounded decisions. \nThe program isn’t about learning “how to use AI\,” but rather locating ourselves in the broader context of AI and building the capacity to ask *better* questions and make honest choices for ourselves\, our workplaces\, and communities. \nCritical analysis and grounded decision making for our collective future. \nFor justice-oriented leaders\, advocates\, organizers\, educators\, funders\, nonprofit professionals\, HR/DEI practitioners\, policymakers\, and change makers who want to understand AI with more clarity\, rigor\, and courage. \nMichelle MiJung Kim is an award-winning author\, speaker\, entrepreneur\, and lifelong social justice activist whose work sits at the intersection of personal transformation and systemic change. She is the founder and CEO of The Courage Studio\, a strategy lab and practice ground for collective courage.
