Today, Meme Styles, Founder of Measure and Chair of the HBCU AI Conference Training Summit, and Chris Hyams, former CEO of Indeed and AI educator, join Tony Tidbit and Chris P. Reed live from Huston-Tillotson University to break down AI ethics, bias, and power.

This conversation moves beyond the hype of artificial intelligence and into the reality of how these systems are built, who they represent, and who they leave behind.

From algorithmic bias and digital erasure to the urgent need for AI literacy and community accountability, this episode exposes a critical truth: AI is not neutral. It reflects the data, systems, and power structures behind it.

If left unchecked, AI will not just mirror inequality, it will accelerate it.
