Class, please welcome our newest Pencil Busters, Myra Roldan and Leah Manoni! These sisters understand the challenge of labeling AI as good or bad, ethical or unethical. They know the enormous potential for AI to revolutionize our workforce and education systems for good. Just as well, they know the equally significant threats AI poses to privacy and genuine learning. How? Because they run UnDesto AI, a boutique AI company working with companies and schools to determine their AI readiness and build a cohesive strategy to prioritize privacy AND efficiency. Myra, Founder and CEO of UnDesto, literally wrote the book on the dangers of using AI without training leading to massive data breaches- The Curious Case of ChatterBot GPT, available February 1st, 2025. Leah, Head of Operations at UnDesto brings a focus on digital ethics to the table. Together, they work with business executives, educators, and anyone looking to expand their AI knowledge and expertise! And incredibly, today they help Dr. Tim and Dr. Johnny bridge their long divide over AI.
