In this episode of the R&R Podcast, Prof. Roshan Godaliyadda and I dive into a question that’s becoming more critical every day:

How do we use AI responsibly in a world where technology is evolving faster than awareness, ethics, and regulation?

From deepfakes and identity theft to privacy risks, social media manipulation, and the growing attention economy - AI is reshaping not just how we work, but how we trust.

This conversation goes beyond technology.
It’s about:

Digital literacy
Ethics and accountability
Trust in what we see and hear
The societal impact of AI

As AI becomes more powerful, the risks become more real and so does our responsibility to understand and use it wisely.

This episode is for educators, students, professionals, policymakers, parents and anyone trying to make sense of the AI-driven world we live in.

Let’s move beyond awareness and start building responsible AI practices together.

Libraries have always played a central role in connecting people with knowledge. In the age of AI, that role becomes even more important.
I look forward to engaging with the global library community on this timely topic.
