In this episode, we explore one of the themes of Wisconsin Tech Month and Milwaukee Tech Week, focusing on the rapid advancements in technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI). Joined by influential guests like Mandela Barnes, former lieutenant governor of Wisconsin, Ben Juarez, the co-founder of Latinos in Tech, Rivet and the creator of powerful algorithms, and Dave Berka, the project manager for Tech Equity at United Way of Greater Milwaukee, we dig deep into the intersections of AI, technology, and equity.

What is AI, and how does it fit into our current society? As technology surges forward, how can we ensure equitable access and representation, especially for marginalized communities? This discussion doesn't just stop at the definition of AI, but it takes a critical look at its application, its potential, and the responsibilities we hold as users, developers, and educators in the tech realm.

From leveraging AI in day-to-day operations to contemplating the future trajectory of this technology, our guests offer unique perspectives rooted in their experiences in tech and community leadership. Hear about the present challenges of technology deployment, the potential it holds for future generations, and the broader implications of AI on society.

Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, a professional in the field, or someone curious about how AI will shape our world, this conversation is packed with insights, anecdotes, and thought-provoking discussions that will leave you contemplating the digital age we live in. Don’t miss this deep dive into the heart of AI, equity, and the future of technology in Wisconsin and beyond.
