AI Literacy Salon: Beyond Prediction
AI literacy is a new way of thinking about the future.
AI Literacy is a space to consider where AI meets human process — deciphering how these tools can shape our attention, our communication, and the ways we work with computers and each other.
Most conversations about AI focus on what it can do. This one asks something different: what does it mean to understand it?
At a technical level, AI systems like large language models are fundamentally prediction engines — they generate outputs by calculating what word, image, or action is most likely to come next. That logic shapes not just what AI produces, but how it reasons, where it fails, and what it quietly optimizes for. AI literacy means developing the ability to see that logic clearly — so you can work with it intentionally rather than inherit its assumptions.
In this space, we invite curiosity over conclusions — come ready to think, question, and engage.
Salon #1: Beyond Prediction
Why AI literacy is not about Prediction
The AI Literacy Salon series platforms speakers who can narrate their logic rather than prescribe a worldview. Beyond Prediction asks: if AI is built to predict, what gets lost when we let it lead? How do practitioners across design, venture, and knowledge work hold onto judgment, craft, and discernment in an AI-assisted landscape?

Featured Guests:
Noa Dolberg
Google's Material Design
Noa Dolberg leads UX at Google's Material Design, shaping how the cross-platform design system evolves in an increasingly AI-assisted landscape. Working at the intersection of UX strategy and engineering, she focuses on scaling complex workflows, making her a sharp voice on maintaining craft, alignment, and human judgment as AI reshapes how designers work.
Cherae Robinson
Head of Platform, Flybridge
Cherae Robinson works in venture at Flybridge and has spent years building communities around cultural access and founder development. As AI tools reshape who can build and how, she brings a platform and equity lens to AI literacy — thinking about which communities are developing fluency with these tools, and what's at stake when they don't.
Sam Spurlin
Founder, Deliberate Works
Sam Spurlin founded Deliberate Works to help knowledge workers build more intentional practices around how they think and collaborate. As AI becomes embedded in knowledge work, his focus on deliberate practice and cognitive clarity becomes directly relevant — he's interested in helping people develop genuine discernment about when and how to use AI, rather than defaulting to it unreflectively.
