Our Work

Ourmedia delivered a listening session hosted in partnership with the University of California, Santa Barbara Center for Informational Technology and Society in 2023 that surfaced a set of key insights around AI’s impact on work, learning, personal life, and civics. As we moved into 2024, many of the concerns and expectations surfaced by participants moved to the forefront of AI discourse, demonstrating the need for engaging with diverse cohorts of participants from higher learning and Generation Z to develop solutions around AI. The structure of exercises in the session provided unique opportunities for participants to explore complex feelings and perspectives around AI; many participants shared that this was one of the first times they’d been challenged to think deeply in collaboration with a diverse set of perspectives and backgrounds.
