Master AI education and boost AI literacy with insights from Dr. Stefania Druga, Google Gemini research scientist and creator of Cognimates. Explore how to use AI to learn about AI, effective strategies for teaching AI concepts to kids and adults, and the crucial role of hands-on tinkering. We discuss overcoming learning barriers, designing AI tools that augment creativity without stifling imagination (like smart toys vs. real-world learning), the nuances of anthropomorphizing AI, and the future of multimodal AI applications in education and beyond. Learn why user observation and custom eval sets are vital for building truly useful AI tools.
