Why Digital Inclusion Matters More Than Ever in the Age of AI
2025-12-26 11:00 - 12:00
A 50-Minute Loaded Remote Executive Lecture on Teams
Artificial intelligence is transforming every aspect of society—from public services and education to employment, healthcare, and everyday life. Yet as AI accelerates, the divide between those who can participate and those who cannot is widening at an alarming rate.
This workshop, delivered by digital inclusion strategist John Adewole, provides leaders, organisations, and practitioners with a clear, compelling understanding of why digital inclusion is now a critical requirement in an AI-enabled world.
About the Workshop
In just 50 minutes, this session offers an evidence-based, insight-driven exploration of how AI is reshaping digital access needs and deepening existing inequalities. Drawing on real community experience and cross-sector practice, highlighting the practical steps every organisation can take to ensure people are not left behind.
The workshop is ideal for:

Local authorities and government teams
Corporates and digital transformation leaders
Housing associations
Funders and grant-makers
Charities and community organisations
Education, skills, and employability providers

What You Will Learn
Participants will gain actionable insights into:

How AI adoption is accelerating digital inequality
Which groups are being disproportionately affected
The essential digital skills required in an AI-driven society
Practical, scalable strategies for supporting digitally excluded people
Immediate actions your organisation can implement

Why This Matters Now
AI is no longer “emerging”—it is actively shaping the services people rely upon. Without targeted interventions, millions risk being locked out of education, employment, public services, and opportunities for social and economic mobility.
Digital inclusion is not a technical issue; it is a social, economic, and ethical imperative.

About the Facilitator
John Adewole is a recognised leader in digital inclusion, sustainable technology use, and community empowerment. Through IFB Gaming’s Empowering Futures programme, he works directly with underserved groups to improve digital access, skills, and participation. His practical experience, combined with policy-level insight, ensures a workshop that is both grounded and forward-looking.
