The U.S. Department of Education just proposed something bold — a new funding priority that centers equity in AI education.

In this episode, we break down what this proposal really means, who it affects, and why it could shift how AI shows up in schools, prisons, nonprofits, and beyond.

We’ll talk about:

• Why AI literacy is the new DEI

• What rural schools and under-resourced communities need most

• How to rethink your AI projects through an equity lens

• And the question we all need to ask: who are we building for?

This isn’t about politics. It’s about power, access, and what kind of future we’re building.

Let’s make sure no one gets left behind.
