Women talkin' 'bout AI

We’re Jessica and Kimberly – two non-computer scientists who are just as curious (and skeptical) about generative AI as you are. Each episode, we chat with people from different backgrounds to hear how they’re making sense of AI. We keep it real, skip the jargon, and and explore it with the curiosity of researchers and the openness of learners.

You Can’t Teach AI Without Teaching Tech

July 27, 2025 • Kimberly Becker & Jessica Parker • Season 2 • Episode 6

In this episode, hosts Jessica and Kimberly are joined by Dr. Juliana Peloche, global educator and senior AI literacy advisor at Edith Cowan University. With over 20 years of cross-cultural teaching experience in Brazil, Chile, and Australia, Juliana shares how a curious 12-year-old student sparked her journey into AI education. Together, they explore why AI literacy is more than a technical skill—it's a foundation for critical thinking, equity, and ethics in the classroom. From digital basics like knowing what a browser is, to reimagining how we assess learning in the age of AI, this episode dives deep into how we can better prepare educators and students for a tech-saturated future—without losing our humanity.
