New look, bigger impact! With PLATO’s new logo and brand, we are unifying decades of technical expertise with our passion for social impact and showcasing IT investment as a driver of meaningful change.

Ever had something work perfectly… until it suddenly doesn’t?
Brielle, a software testing apprentice at PLATO, was testing an internal AI tool when she noticed something strange. After a few prompts, the chatbot just stopped responding.

The chatbot was no longer providing source links, meaning users couldn’t verify the information it was giving.
What’s interesting is that this second issue only showed up because she kept going beyond the initial retest.
💡 A great reminder: sometimes the most important bugs are the ones you find after you think you’re done testing.

AI is everywhere right now—but how do you actually make it work responsibly?
In this episode of PLATO Panel Talks, we dive into what it really takes to build AI systems people can trust.

• why small changes in prompts can completely change results
• and why diverse perspectives, especially Indigenous perspectives, matter more than ever
It’s a real-world look at AI beyond the hype 👇
