đŹ Quotes from Lei in this episode:
âWomen donât need to code to belong in this AI era. We simply need visibility, access, and spaces to learn with confidence.â
âLearning is wonderful, but itâs when you move it forward to impact that you really begin to make a difference.â
âWhen we begin to build that fluency, you can start to use AI as a trusted tool. Ultimately, it transforms yourself, how you do your role, how it impacts your team as well as your organization for the better.â
âTransformation changes curiosityâchanges whatâs possible.â
âAI wonât replace adaptable leaders, but those who ignore it may be replaced by others who donât.â
âThink of AI as augmenting the human. It doesnât replace our human intelligence.â
