In this informal lecture, Lauren Goodlad describes the Design Justice Labs approach to teaching critical AI literacies, an approach that emphasizes student- and community-centered learning about technology and the design of digital tools informed by the needs and interests of the people who are expected to use them. As a resource for teaching critical AI literacies, the Design Justice Labs approach emphasizes enabling students to approach digital tools as researchers rather than users.
