Why Digital Inclusion Matters More Than Ever in the Age of AI

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.

Differences between Augmented Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence, and Augmented Reality

Augmented intelligence, artificial intelligence, and augmented reality are not the same; they are distinct concepts and technologies.

Here are the key differences between Augmented Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence, and Augmented Reality:

  1. Artificial Intelligence (AI):
    • AI refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. These tasks may include problem-solving, learning from data, recognising patterns, making decisions, and understanding natural language.
    • AI can be found in a wide range of applications, from virtual personal assistants like Siri and chatbots to recommendation systems in streaming services and even self-driving cars.
    • AI doesn’t necessarily require a direct interface with the real world, as it operates in the digital realm.
  2. Augmented Reality (AR):
    • AR is a technology that blends digital information (such as computer-generated images, sounds, or data) with the real world. It overlays virtual elements onto your view of the physical world through a device, like a smartphone or AR glasses.
    • AR enhances your perception of reality by adding contextually relevant digital information. This can be used in various applications, such as gaming (e.g., Pokémon Go), navigation, and educational tools.
    • AR does not necessarily involve intelligent decision-making but focuses on enhancing the user’s sensory experience.
  3. Augmented Intelligence (AI):
    • Augmented Intelligence is the concept of using AI to enhance human intelligence and decision-making rather than replacing it. It combines the strengths of both human and artificial intelligence.
    • AI technologies, such as machine learning and data analytics, are employed to assist humans in making better decisions, providing insights, and automating routine tasks.
    • Augmented Intelligence aims to empower individuals and businesses by using AI as a tool to enhance their abilities, such as in data analysis, healthcare diagnostics, and customer support.

Artificial Intelligence is a broad field that focuses on creating smart computer systems. Augmented Reality enhances the real world with digital information, and Augmented Intelligence leverages AI to enhance human intelligence and decision-making.

Each of these technologies has distinct applications and objectives, and they can complement each other in various contexts to create more advanced and interactive experiences.

Unlocking the Mysteries of AI: A Beginner’s Guide

Welcome back, curious enthusiasts! At IFB Gaming, we understand that diving into the world of gaming can sometimes feel like stepping into a maze of acronyms and technical jargon. One such term you’ve probably come across is “AI”, short for Artificial Intelligence. But fear not, because today we’re here to unravel the mysteries of AI and explain it in a way that even beginners can grasp.

What is AI, Anyway?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is like having a computer or a robot that can perform tasks independently, much like the human brain can think and make decisions.

Think of AI as the magical brain of your computer or console. Just like you think and make decisions, AI helps your gaming device make choices and solve problems all on its own. It’s like having a clever sidekick who’s really good at learning from information and figuring things out.

AI is made to learn from information and make choices or solve problems, and it can be really helpful in all sorts of things, like playing games, answering questions, and even driving cars! It’s like having a smart, helpful friend who’s a computer.

AI in Gaming

Now, why is AI so important in the gaming world? Well, it’s because AI is what makes non-player characters (NPCs) act smart in your games. When you’re exploring a virtual world, battling opponents, or solving puzzles, AI controls how the computer-generated characters respond.

It’s like playing against computer opponents who can think and adapt, which makes your gaming experience more exciting and challenging.

AI in Game Design

AI isn’t just about creating opponents, though. It’s also used in designing the game itself. Game developers use AI to craft engaging storylines, create realistic environments, and even personalise your gaming experience.

AI can adapt the game’s difficulty to match your skills, so you’re always on the edge of your seat without getting too frustrated.

AI Beyond Gaming

AI isn’t limited to gaming; it’s a technology used in many aspects of our lives. It’s what powers voice assistants like Siri or Alexa, recommends movies on Netflix, and ChatGpt, and even helps self-driving cars navigate the roads.

So, understanding AI can open doors to a world of technological wonders.

Getting Started

AI has been around for some time, and it is not limited to gaming only. As you embark on your digital inclusion journey, keep an eye out for AI-powered features, functions and characters.

The more you understand how AI works, the more you’ll appreciate the intricacies and potential. And who knows, you might even be inspired to create your own AI solutions in the future!

Stay tuned for more exciting updates here at IFB Gaming.

We’re committed to helping beginners, academics, researchers, policymakers, charities, and community organisations alike explore the thrilling universe of AI.

So, level up, and remember – AI can be your trusty sidekick in the digital world, making your adventures even more holistic and epic!
