Thursday, 21 August, 2025

What if the future of technology was designed with empathy at its core? In Episode 9 of the Designing a Humane Future podcast, we explore how social media and artificial intelligence are reshaping our lives—and how young people, ethical innovators, and inclusive design practices are showing us a better way forward. From Minecraft servers built for neurodiverse youth to AI systems that know when to hand off to a human, this two-part episode dives into the systems we build—and the future we want to shape. Listen now to discover how we can transform powerful technologies into tools for care, connection, and collective well-being. __ Learn more about the experts interviewed this episode by visiting the following links (in order of appearance): Kara Brisson-Boivin Director of Research, MediaSmarts https://mediasmarts.ca/ Dr. Skye Barbic  Associate Professor, Department of Occupational Science and Occupation Therapy,  University of British Columbia (UBC) https://osot.ubc.ca/our-research/our-faculty/skye-barbic/ Stuart Duncan Founder, Autcraft https://www.autcraft.com/ Kevin Tuer Chief Technology Officer, Communitech https://www.communitech.ca/ Fion Lee-Madan Technical Co-Founder, COO, Fairly AI https://www.fairly.ai/ Brian Ritchie  Founder & CEO, kama.ai https://kama.ai/
