Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

The discourse on artificial intelligence (AI) is riddled with breathless hype on the one hand and apocalyptic predictions on the other. 

Journalists, civil society leaders, and public policymakers are all trusted messengers who shape our understanding of emergent and timely topics, like artificial intelligence. Yet many don’t know where to start. We need to develop a shared understanding of these headline-grabbing technologies so that everyone can jump into the conversation feeling informed, emboldened, and included.

On December 5, we brought together leaders from journalism, education, government, and philanthropy, to share how they talk about artificial intelligence in their work. The session covered smart practices for communication about AI both inside your organization and out in public. How can we navigate ambiguity amid changing technologies? What are common sources of confusion, and where can people go for clarity?
