233- Unpacking Corporate DEI and AI Misconceptions: Insights from Jason Brown

s corporate DEI just an empty gesture, or can it truly foster genuine inclusion? Join us on this episode of "Politically High Tech" where we engage in an eye-opening conversation with the dynamic and confident Jason Brown. We kick off by contrasting the superficiality of corporate DEI initiatives with natural diversity and genuine inclusion, and Jason shares his thoughts on the importance of timing in conversations and maintaining confidence. You'll even get to know some fun personal tidbits about Jason, including his love for long walks on the beach, hot dogs, and his competitive streak in chess.

Moving forward, we tackle the widespread misunderstanding of AI among the general public. Despite AI’s presence in everyday life for decades—from video games to chatbots—many still struggle to grasp its current applications. Highlighting historical milestones like IBM's chess matches and AI in video games, we shed light on the transformative potential of large language models and emphasize the necessity of making AI tools accessible and comfortable for everyday use. Education is key as we prepare for a future increasingly influenced by AI.

Finally, the episode takes a critical look at AI's societal and security impacts. We share cautionary tales about AI-driven scams and underscore the importance of rigorous verification processes. The conversation then pivots back to DEI, where we discuss the challenges of superficial implementations and the need for meaningful efforts that address equity and inclusion issues at their core.
