About the project
As part of Season 2 of From HU2U, Howard University’s signature storytelling podcast, we produced a three-part narrative mini-series exploring the “potential and peril of AI for Howard University and our communities.” This series takes listeners on a guided journey through the rise of generative AI: what it is, why it matters, and how it affects Black communities and institutions like Howard.
Across the mini-series, we dig into core questions and highlight the voices closest to the work:
- Ep 1: What is GenAI and Why Is It Biased? : A grounded introduction to generative AI and the systemic biases built into today’s technologies.
- Ep 2: Howard Changemakers Leading the Way: A spotlight on the innovators, researchers, and leaders at Howard shaping a more equitable tech future.
- Ep 3: Preparing Howard Alum for Big Tech & Entrepreneurship: A look at how Howard prepares its graduates to lead, build, and break barriers in emerging industries.
Through interviews, narration, and storytelling, the series amplifies critical conversations that sit at the intersection of AI, equity, education, and community impact.
