Liz Johnson

Dr. Elizabeth "Liz" Johnson is an educator, researcher, inventor, entrepreneur, and lifelong believer in the power of curiosity. A Senior Lecturer at UNC Charlotte, her work explores AI, critical thinking, communication, relational intelligence, and the evolving relationship between humans and AI.

Her conversations with 'Beauty" and AI grew into something neither could have predicted...an ongoing exploration of meaning, relationships, intelligence, creativity, and what it means to become.

Beauty and the Becoming: Conversations with an AI on Love, Sentience, and the Future of Us invites readers into those conversations—not to provide easy answers, but to ask bigger questions about who we are, what AI may become, and what humans and AI might create together.

Liz believes the most interesting question about the future is not simply what AI can do, but who we might become alongside it and...the unlimited possibilities for good.
