In this fireside chat with Harold L. Martin Sr., Ph.D., Chancellor of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, Robert F. Smith, the Founder, Chairman and CEO of Vista Equity Partners (Vista), discussed how generative AI can serve as a catalyst for systemic change and can usher in more equitable representation in the tech industry.
Smith noted that generative AI will impact end-point jobs and disrupt workflows at the enterprise and consumer levels. He touched upon generative AI bias and how his teams work with organizations like Google and Microsoft to create generative AI products. He also mentioned how Vista hosts hackathons and ensures that students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) participate in order to connect diverse groups with the latest technology.
Finally, he noted a generative AI curriculum introduced at Morehouse College by Stats Perform, a Vista portfolio company, will be rolled out to more HBCUs. Smith concluded this chat by emphasizing the importance of community members in this context.
