Description:

AI can be the great equalizer when wielded with purpose and empathy. In this hands-on workshop, Fourth Gen Labs guides workforce and community leaders through the real obstacles blocking marginalized groups from financial security and educational access, then shows exactly how generative-AI tools can tear them down. You’ll analyze lived-experience case studies, experiment with low-cost AI solutions, and co-design strategies you can deploy the very next day. Our instructors translate complex technology into clear, human-centered tactics so you leave confident, inspired, and equipped with a roadmap, curated resources, and peer connections to sustain momentum long after the session ends. The result: actionable plans that uplift communities while advancing equitable digital futures.
