Sinead Bovell
The Visionary
The future, and what is barely possible, reads round the next corner.
Sinead Bovell earns The Visionary designation through the scale of her wager: that AI literacy is a democratic right, not a credential to be gatekept. She reframes AI as electricity rather than a chatbot, warns that disengagement means forfeiting a voice in the technology's direction, and runs WAYE across venues from the UN to underrepresented communities. Her boldest idea is that informed participation, distributed widely, can bend the trajectory itself.
“AI needs to become a part of our everyday life, because that's the role it's going to play. So it needs to become a part of popular discourse and just general culture so more of us can kind of participate in how this technology moves.”
“It's really hard to weigh into a technology and to a moment if you have already unsubscribed from it.”
“I agree it shouldn't be up to seven people in Silicon Valley building the most important technology of our generation.”
