You’ll hear from a panel of professionals working in the AI space about how diverse perspectives shape better technology, how Indigenous and Black worldviews can inform AI design, and what it takes to build a career in this exciting new field.

You'll also take part in an interactive brainstorming session where you will collaborate with other students to develop ideas that use AI to address real community needs and social inequities.
