Support CITRIS as we develop technology solutions for challenges around the world: wildfires, the health of an aging population, the future of a workforce augmented by artificial intelligence, and more. In all we do, we prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion across each of our research initiatives.
In this episode of TecHype, Brandie Nonnecke sits down with comedian, filmmaker, cultural commentator and host of CNN’s United Shades of America, W. Kamau Bell, for a powerful conversation on race, representation, and rights in the age of AI.
From recommendation algorithms that reinforce bias, to the impact of generative AI on creativity and performers’ rights, we explore how AI is shaping — and often distorting — whose stories get told, seen, and heard.
Tune in as we cut through the hype and get real about what equity in AI should look like — and who needs to be in the room to shape it.
TecHype is more than a show; it’s a movement towards understanding and responsibly harnessing technology for a better future. Stay tuned and keep thriving in our digital world.
