Lorna Beegan stories

Lorna Beegan writes about the intersection of technology, gender and power, with a particular focus on how artificial intelligence is shaping the lives and futures of girls. Her work examines who gets to design emerging technologies, whose voices are amplified or silenced in that process, and how those choices ripple through education, work and everyday life.

Through her stories, readers can explore why AI is never truly neutral, how bias gets coded into systems that appear objective, and what it would mean for girls to be active creators rather than passive subjects of technological change. Beegan’s writing invites us to question assumptions about progress, to recognise the risks of exclusion, and to imagine more equitable, human-centred futures shaped with girls’ perspectives at the core.
