What does responsible AI actually look like, and who gets to shape it?

Live from the WE25 Diverse Podcast Studio in New Orleans, Lisa Thee, TEDx speaker and global AI thought leader, discusses using AI for social good and building technology that puts people first.

Lisa shares her unexpected journey from industrial engineering at the University of Michigan to becoming an accidental entrepreneur, and the moment in 2015 when she realized AI could help combat human trafficking — including a collaboration that helped law enforcement recover 130 missing children in its first month.

In conversation with Larry Guthrie, director of content strategy at SWE, hear three practical tips to use AI ethically, where bias enters AI systems, and how SWE and its annual conferences have repeatedly shaped Lisa’s career.
