S4:Ep. 4, "Bridging Art and AI" ft Kenge Adams

Welcome back to season four of the MKE Tech Podcast! In this special Wisconsin Tech Month edition, we sit down with Kenji Adams, a project manager turned entrepreneur and founder of innovative community programs like STEAM & Dream. Kenji shares her inspiring journey from corporate tech at Northwestern Mutual to launching her own business, all while diving deeper into the tech world and embracing her role as a woman in tech.

In this episode, Kenji takes us through her latest project—a unique blend of African art and artificial intelligence. As part of Wisconsin Tech Month, Kenji is hosting an incredible event that bridges the past and future by using AI to generate new artwork from historical African artifacts. We dive into how AI can help fill historical gaps, address cultural erasure, and spark thought-provoking conversations about identity and heritage. Kenji also shares how collaboration and self-awareness have been key to her success in navigating the tech space.

Tune in for this enriching conversation about creativity, tech, and community building, and learn more about how Kenji's event will challenge perceptions of both art and AI.
