For AI to achieve its full potential, non-experts need to contribute to its development, says Rumman Chowdhury, CEO and cofounder of Humane Intelligence. She shares how the right-to-repair movement of consumer electronics provides a promising model for a path forward, with ways for everyone to report issues, patch updates or even retrain AI technologies.

AI now shapes farming, medicine, and daily life, but people feel powerless when systems fail or make mistakes. Many, like the farmers who hacked their own tractors, want the ability to fix, adjust, or question the technology that affects them. Recent polls show public trust in AI is falling worldwide, as people’s voices and concerns are left out of the design process. Expanding the right to repair from devices to AI could transform passive users into active co-creators, making technology safer and more trustworthy.
