Making Artificial Intelligence Understandable, Useful, and Human-Centered

Artificial intelligence is rapidly shaping how information is created, shared, and consumed. From news feeds and search results to images, audio, and automated decisions, AI now influences everyday life.

Yet for many people, AI feels distant, confusing, or threatening.

At OtownGist Creative Hub, we focus on AI literacy — helping people understand what AI is, how it works in practice, and how to use it responsibly within real social and cultural contexts.

Why us?

What We Do Our Broader Work Conver

We deliver practical, accessible AI literacy that emphasizes understanding, ethics, and responsible use — not technical complexity.

This includes:

  • Introductory and applied AI literacy training

  • Understanding AI in media, education, and daily life

  • Responsible use of AI tools for productivity and content

  • Awareness of AI-generated misinformation and manipulation

  • Ethical considerations grounded in local realities

The Challenge We Address

Across communities and institutions, we see:

  • limited understanding of how AI systems work

  • growing exposure to AI-driven misinformation

  • fear and resistance due to lack of clarity

  • unequal access to AI tools and skills

  • ethical concerns without practical guidance

These gaps increase digital exclusion and weaken trust in information systems.

RESPONSIBLE USAGE

Why Responsible Technology Matters

AI is not neutral. The way it is designed and used affects:

  • what information people see

  • whose voices are amplified or silenced

  • how decisions are made

  • how trust is built or eroded

Responsible technology use requires informed users, ethical awareness, and cultural sensitivity — not blind adoption.

By building AI literacy, we help people engage with technology with confidence, not fear.

Connection to Our Broader Work

These are not isolated problems. They affect:

AI Literacy & Responsible Technology is closely linked to:

  • Media & Journalism Capacity Building, where AI impacts reporting and verification
  • Digital Storytelling & Media Production, where AI tools shape content creation
  • The Digital Bridge Initiative, where AI literacy is critical for inclusion

This ensures AI understanding is not isolated, but integrated into broader media and community capacity building.
