In this insightful clip, join Troy Millings, Rashad Bilal, and Ian Dunlap as they dive deep into the transformative world of technology and AI. The rapid advancements in these fields pose both exciting opportunities and significant challenges, especially for underrepresented communities.

The discussion sheds light on the urgent need for greater awareness and representation of the Black community within the tech industry. With technology often developed predominantly outside of America, mainly in countries like China and India, there's an increasing concern that Black Americans are not participating enough in shaping these crucial advancements. This lack of representation may lead to further marginalization if left unaddressed.

A particularly striking assertion is that while China uses social media platforms to bolster its image, it might also be contributing to societal dysfunction in the U.S. The trio critically examines America's current educational approach to AI, drawing stark contrasts with China's proactive strategy of teaching AI from an early age.

To counter these challenges, the hosts emphasize the importance of prioritizing technology education, entrepreneurship, and investment in minority communities. They argue that increasing representation in tech is essential to avoid becoming a "permanent underclass" and to ensure that legal frameworks provide protections against potential AI-induced discrimination.

Join us for this critical conversation and let's explore the paths needed to foster inclusivity and accountability in the tech sector. By working together, we can bridge existing gaps and secure a rightful place in the future tech landscape.
