AI & Your Community
Transform neighborhoods through technology.
Designed for community leaders, organizers, and advocates who want to ensure their neighborhoods benefit from AI rather than being displaced by it. Learn to build digital infrastructure, advocate for resources, and lead transformation.
Some Communities Will Thrive. Others Will Be Left Behind.
The AI revolution isn't just changing individual jobs—it's reshaping entire communities. Some neighborhoods will attract investment, talent, and opportunity. Others will watch as resources flow elsewhere.
The difference? Leadership. Communities with leaders who understand AI, who can advocate for resources, who can build coalitions for change—these communities will write their own futures.
This course equips you to be that leader.
Community Digital Divide
What You'll Learn
Four modules designed to make you an effective advocate for community digital transformation.
AI's Community-Level Impacts
Beyond individual jobs, AI is reshaping housing markets, healthcare access, educational outcomes, and economic development. Learn to see—and communicate—the full picture to your community.
Building Digital Infrastructure
From broadband access to device availability to digital literacy programs—learn what digital infrastructure your community needs and how to assess what's missing.
Advocacy and Policy Basics
Effective advocacy requires understanding how decisions get made. Learn to navigate city halls, school boards, and state agencies to secure resources for your community.
Funding and Resources
Billions of dollars are available for digital equity initiatives. Learn where to find grants, how to build partnerships, and how to make the case for investment in your community.
Where AI Transforms Communities
AI isn't just about technology—it's reshaping every aspect of community life.
Healthcare Access
Telehealth, AI diagnostics, and health management tools can transform outcomes—but only for communities that can access them.
Education Quality
AI tutoring, personalized learning, and skill development can close achievement gaps—if schools and families have the tools.
Economic Opportunity
AI-ready communities attract businesses and create jobs. AI-left-behind communities lose both.
Housing Stability
Technology affects housing markets, property values, and access to services that determine where families can afford to live.
Civic Engagement
From accessing government services to participating in democracy—digital capability increasingly determines civic voice.
Senior Services
Aging in place, medication management, and social connection all increasingly depend on digital access and literacy.
