In this episode, Larry interviews Dr. Allison Scott, CEO of the Kapor Foundation, about creating a more equitable technology ecosystem through three focus areas: education, innovation, and governance.

Dr. Scott explains the foundation’s long-running work to expand access to K–12 computer science. They discuss AI literacy, the need for students to be critical consumers and producers of technology, risks of over-reliance and cognitive offloading, and concerns about AI companion chatbots, privacy, and online safety.
