Pragmatic AI adoption: from AI literacy to futures literacy. Featuring Elisa Lindinger, SUPERRR Co-founder

What does it mean to be pragmatic about AI adoption, while staying true to the values and mission driving people and organizations?

When Elisa Lindinger decided to talk about AI, her intention was to say what she had to say once, and then move on with her life without having anyone ask about AI ever again. The plan backfired heavily, but somehow, that turned into a good thing.

Lindinger is the Co-founder of SUPERRR, an independent non-profit organization. SUPERRR was created to serve the thesis is that digital policy is social policy, and it needs bold visions and feminist values.

Like most other individuals and organizations today, Lindinger's inbox has been flooded with new invitations every day. Invitations to discuss AI, to facilitate workshops on feminist AI, or the inevitable coaching offer to finally learn how to prompt properly.

This made Lindinger feel that other topics that are just as crucial are disappearing from the conversation. "AI and Unlikelihood" was an attempt to situate how the people at SUPERRR view the phenomenon of AI, and why they believe it’s essential to return our attention to other topics as well.

What happened instead was that SUPERRR's post got viral on LinkedIn, reigniting the topic of AI and stealing the limelight. An algorithmic glitch? Perhaps. But SUPERRR's stance of rejecting the narrative of blind adoption of generative AI resonated with many people.

We met with Lindinger to explore the nuance behind what some might superficially call a Luddite approach, and to talk about setting priorities right, imagining futures people want to live in, and how to go From AI literacy to futures literacy.

With cracks in the AI narrative beginning to show, the backdrop could not be more timely.
