Episode Title: Episode Audio Link: https://podcast.ablackexec.com/episode/Is AI the Next Civil Rights Battlefield?Episode Video Link: In this episode of A Black Executive Perspective Podcast, Roy L. Austin Jr. joins Tony Tidbit and Chris P. Reed for a powerful conversation about artificial intelligence, civil rights, racial justice, technology, and accountability.Roy explains why AI is not neutral when the data behind it reflects the same discrimination found in housing, policing, criminal justice, employment, media, and corporate systems. The conversation explores biased data, cultural competency, predictive policing, content moderation, responsible innovation, and the urgent need to make civil rights part of the AI blueprint.This episode challenges listeners to think more deeply about who builds technology, who is protected by it, who is harmed by it, and why Black communities must be present in shaping the future.▶︎ In This Episode 00:00 Opening01:05 Welcome to BEP02:00 AI and civil rights08:30 Why the civil rights fight continues15:00 Housing, policing, and systemic discrimination23:05 Race, law, and power28:30 The 16th Street Baptist Church case39:30 Civil rights meets AI47:00 AI bias, imagery, and responsibility52:00 Cultural competency in technology57:05 Fairness, red teaming, and AI accountability01:05:40 Howard Law AI Initiative01:07:50 What gives Roy hope01:13:40 Tony’s Tidbit01:14:20 L.E.S.S. and closing🔗 ResourcesLinks and resources mentioned in this episode:🔔 Listen and SubscribeListen to this episode and subscribe for future updatessubscribe to A Black Executive Perspective podcast onYouTube PodcastsApple PodcastsSpotify PodcastsAmazon MusicOther platforms or by searching "TonyTidbit"if you like what we're doing and would like to support us, here's some ways you can help us continue the uncomfortable conversations that drive changesubscribe to our newslettergive us up to a 5 star review on Apple Podcastsshare an episode with a friend, family member or colleague🗣️ Follow @ablackexecfollow us across social media @aBlackExecLinkedInInstagramFacebookYouTubeTwitterTikTokWhatsApp⭐️ Follow @TonyTidbitfollow Tony across social media @TonyTidbitTwitterLinkedInFacebookThis episode was produced by TonyTidbit ™ .
