TecHype with Kamau Bell - Holding Space in the AI Race

Thursday, April 17, 2025 • Duration 51:08

In this episode of TecHype, Brandie Nonnecke sits down with comedian, filmmaker, cultural commentator and host of CNN’s United Shades of America, W. Kamau Bell, for a powerful conversation on race, representation, and rights in the age of AI.

From recommendation algorithms that reinforce bias, to the impact of generative AI on creativity and performers’ rights, we explore how AI is shaping — and often distorting — whose stories get told, seen, and heard.

Tune in as we cut through the hype and get real about what equity in AI should look like — and who needs to be in the room to shape it.
