HONOLULU, HI — Tadia Rice, a Certified Information Security Specialist and thought leader in technology and ethics, is set to release her new book, My Conversations with AI: 100 Questions. The book presents an accessible exploration of artificial intelligence, addressing the complexities of AI through 100 engaging dialogues with various AI platforms. Tadia’s work seeks to offer readers—particularly those with limited technical backgrounds—a straightforward understanding of AI’s capabilities, limitations, and implications.
Tadia’s book is designed to reach a wide audience, with a particular focus on individuals who may feel intimidated by the increasing role of AI in daily life. She identifies an increasing need for AI literacy, particularly among readers over 55, who may not fully grasp how AI works or why it matters. In her clear and concise style, Tadia breaks down AI concepts into understandable terms, ensuring that readers from all walks of life can engage with the material and feel empowered by the knowledge they gain.
“I wanted to create a resource that not only informs readers about AI but also gives them the confidence to navigate this technological landscape,” said Tadia. “There’s a lot of fear and misunderstanding surrounding AI, and this book offers an opportunity to alleviate those concerns with straightforward explanations and real-world examples.”
Tadia, who is also the CEO of Blue Horizon Films & Press, has an extensive background in technology and global media. Her company is known for producing impactful documentaries, such as the critically acclaimed BEYOND BARS: Prison Women Speak, which explores the lives of incarcerated women. Tadia’s commitment to social justice and the ethical implications of technology is further exemplified by her role as an Ethics Commissioner for the City and County of Honolulu, where she advises on matters relating to responsible innovation and public policy in emerging technologies.
Tadia’s expertise spans multiple fields, from information security to film production, and her diverse career has led her to consult for governments, businesses, and organizations around the world. Her nonprofit work with the Tahirih Association focuses on empowering women and girls through education, particularly in the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM), as well as providing poverty alleviation programs in South Africa.
As a recognized thought leader, Tadia has been honored with several prestigious awards, including the Ellis Island Honors Society Award and the Stars of Oceania Leadership Award, for her contributions to social change and ethical leadership. Her ability to bridge the gap between technical knowledge and broader societal issues is reflected in her new book, where she emphasizes the need for greater public understanding of AI’s impact.
“The reality is, AI is already part of our lives, and it will only continue to grow,” said Tadia. “The goal of this book is not to make readers experts in AI but to give them the tools to understand and engage with it, and to consider its ethical implications. The book is an invitation to explore AI in a way that is approachable and useful for everyone.”
Tadia’s work has always been centered on providing accessible knowledge and fostering understanding of complex topics. Through her documentaries, speaking engagements, and books, she strives to create content that educates and inspires, while also challenging the status quo. My Conversations with AI: 100 Questions aligns with her mission to bring clarity to emerging technologies, ensuring that they are developed and used in ways that benefit all people.
