 \;&nbsp\;In 2023\, Phaedra Boinodiris and Beth Rudden co-authored AI for t
 he Rest of Us because they saw a\ndangerous gap: critical information abou
 t AI was being systematically left out of the conversation. Now\,\nas the 
 hype cycle crashes into reality\, that missing information is coming to li
 ght&mdash\;and the timing couldn't\nbe more urgent.\nJoin IBM's Trustworth
 y AI leader and the CEO of Bast AI for an honest conversation about what's
  actually\nhappening in AI deployment right now. Phaedra will share what s
 he's learning from teaching AI literacy\nglobally through layers of impact
  analysis and functional requirements mapping. Beth will discuss what it\n
 actually takes to build certainty into AI systems&mdash\;and why most orga
 nizations still don't understand what\nthey're asking for.Together\, they'
 ll explore:&nbsp\; What the end of the hype cycle reveals about what we go
 t wrong Why AI literacy isn't optional anymore (and what real literacy act
 ually looks like) The gap between what organizations think they need and w
 hat will actually work in their\nenvironments Why 2026 might be the year e
 verything changes&mdash\;and what students entering this field need to\nkn
