Critical Eye on Tech & AI - Protecting Black Youth

Digital technology and AI, in ways both seen and hidden, are enmeshed in the lives of adolescents across various parts of their lives at an unprecedented level. The impact on Black youth is particularly nefarious. Parents, educators and anyone else interested in protecting them need both awareness and strategies to mitigate the consequences, while still positioning them to both thrive and create within this paradigm. This session will combine scholarship, discussion, and community engagement to explore the issues and potential solutions. The Howard University Law School AI Initiative and the Moorland Spingarn Research Center invite you to engage with us in this very important and imminent topic. Presenters will discuss issues affecting Black youth including preserving critical consciousness development, the dangers of deepfake image and video generation, and the surveillance state.
