One of the best discussions I have heard on the use and development of AI But also just on structuring access and enablement for everyone

This is a great conversation—one that we all should hear because it guides us toward preparing to navigate this new technology revolution and acquiring the skills to be successful in this new environment.

Ask Chatgpt if reparations should be given to blacks. And then ask how about if the slaves were white instead of black. 🍿

S/o to Robert Smith. Been in CO and had no idea about Aspen Ideas Festival. Definitely need to be in attendance in the near future.
S/o to Kerry(?) for the black media access issue question. 19 Keys’ show HighLvlConversations is apart of the Earn Your Leisure (EYL) network, via YouTube, alongside MarketMondays with Ian Dunlap. Robert also spoke at (EYL’s) InvestFest💰…

When speaking about helping African American students at HBCUs please don’t forget about the AA at predominantly white institutions. They seemed to get overlooked when speaking about opportunities. Spelman and Howard are top tier HBCUs. They will always get funding.
