Rita sits down with Jackson native Dr. Nashlie Sephus, a world-renowned computer engineer and artificial intelligence expert, to discuss her pathway into the Tech world and how she became one of the country's foremost experts on race and bias within artificial intelligence. Dr. Sephus explains how she fights biases built into the tech products we all use everyday.

At Amazon, Nashlie and her team focus on fairness and mitigating those biases while developing the latest AI. Also hear how Nashlie and her non-profit organization, the Bean Path, are investing in Mississippi's tech professionals and wellness through her Jackson Tech District, a $25M startup project under development along Gallatin St. in Jackson. The 14-acre tech hub is going to feature commercial offices, training spaces, housing, food and leisure, and entertainment options. Nashlie encourages more young women and people of color to get involved in technology and STEM.
