Linda Dounia is a designer and artist. 

She uses play and co-creation to imagine technology that is more accessible and less extractive. 

She is Head of Design at Playlab, an education nonprofit building open AI infrastructure for educators. She believes that the future of education will be defined by how the cooperation between educators and intelligent systems is designed. Rather than build AI that does the work for you, she experiments with how AI can be a credible partner in teaching and learning. 

In 2023, Linda was named to the TIME100 AI list for her work on speculative archiving: building AI models that help us remember what is lost in training data. In 2024, she received Mozilla's RISE25 award for her work in AI.
