Why This Matters

AI is becoming part of everyday life — in our phones, healthcare, and jobs.

This tool helps make sure those systems work safely and fairly for everyone.

Because good technology should be trustworthy, not just powerful.

This process works well for small groups, workshops, or community sessions — especially when people want to learn together.
