       What to do about a divergence between "public" and "expert" opinion about "AI"? Some might think that we need to educate the public so that they come to understand more how experts do. I disagree: expertise in building these systems is far from the only relevant expertise. >>

       The public scholarship I do in this area is about demystifying so-called AI technologies and helping people see how their own expertise and lived experience are highly relevant. Grateful to  Ashley Belanger for this reporting and for the shout out to my work with @alex on THE AI CON and Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000.https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/04/survey-americans-fear-ai-will-hurt-them-experts-expect-the-opposite/

       @emilymbender  I detest the term "We must educate the public...". It gives the impression the public are dumb and that the person doing the "educating" is somehow "superior". The challenge is to engage people and that is something totally different. That requires the public to be part of a process of self-learning through engagement rather than simply needing to be "told" what they should/need to know.
