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 explore it with the curiosity of researchers and the openness of learners.
Subscribe to our channel if you’re also interested in understanding AI behind the headlines.

Is Anyone Steering This Thing? Clara Hawking on AI Governance
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
AI governance sounds like something for IT departments and government committees. It's not. According to computer scientist, philosopher, and AI governance expert Clara Hawking, it's really about behavior — how we use technology, who gets harmed when we use it carelessly, and whether the systems we're building deserve our trust.
In this episode, Clara breaks down what AI governance actually looks like in practice ... including a professor who unknowingly violated GDPR by grading students through his personal ChatGPT account, to the risks that compound (not just add up) when AI, biotech, robotics, and quantum computing start feeding into each other. We also get personal about what it means to govern ourselves first, before we can ask anything of institutions.
If you've ever seen the words "AI governance" and assumed it had nothing to do with you — this one's for you.
