Summary
In this episode of Dr. VR , I take a deliberate turn toward a topic that has surfaced repeatedly on the show but has never been fully unpacked: artificial intelligence. My guest, Claudette Hutchinson, is a Certified AI Lead Implementer and the founder of OwningMy, a platform designed to help people better understand, manage, and take ownership of their AI and digital interactions. Together, we explore what AI literacy really means beyond coding, why bias and representation matter in AI systems, and how these technologies can either widen existing gaps—or help close them. We discuss AI in education, accessibility, and creative fields, including how AI can support learners who have been historically excluded, the risks of automated decision-making, and why personal responsibility and critical thinking remain essential. We also circle back to immersive technologies and XR, looking at how AI and immersive tools intersect to democratize creativity and participation. This episode is about moving from fear to agency—and about who gets to shape the technologies defining our future.
