BC’s funniest answers about AI 🤯😂

What happens when you ask 1,000+ British Columbians about AI?
You get comedy, confusion, poetry… and a big lesson: AI literacy first.

Can we really make AI policy if most people don’t even know what AI is? 🤔
Baby Steppers mixes comedy + critique to expose BC’s AI literacy gap.
—————-

VanAI Baby Steppers is a funny, sharp, and eye-opening project from the Vancouver AI Hackathon (Round 3).

Alvaro Peralta & Udbhav Kansal dive into 1,000+ survey responses from British Columbians about artificial intelligence. What they found? A treasure trove of clarity, confusion, and existential panic.

From “hands-off policy strategies” to “don’t let AI steal my Netflix password,” Baby Steppers exposes how public AI knowledge is mismatched with policy questions. Through satire, interviews, and critique, the project highlights the urgent need for AI literacy before AI policy.

✨ Highlights:

– Real BC survey responses — wise, weird, and hilarious
– Comedy breakdowns of what AI means to the public
– Three foundational AI literacy questions every policymaker should start with
– One “killer” question for future legislation ⚡
– Interviews on how people actually use AI (coding, art, education, workplace tools)
– Recommendations for citizen-driven, literacy-first AI governance

📊 The pulse of BC: equal parts wisdom, confusion, and emojis.
📢 The message: before we legislate AI, let’s learn what it is together.
