1/7 Starting January 20, I'll be offering my new online course, "Responsible AI: Technology, Power, and Justice" through @HustonTillotson University. Pre-registration is open today: rebrand.ly/ht-ai-preregis… 🧵

Thank you to everyone who made HBCU AI Con possible — our keynotes @SistahWilson and @afua_bruce, eight HBCU presidents, incredible students, faculty, volunteers, and sponsors. Proud to co-chair this with @memeofaustin. There is no HBCU AI Con without you.

Last week, 500+ attendees from 37 HBCUs came together at @HustonTillotson for our second annual HBCU AI Con. Individually, HBCUs might not seem formidable. Together, we represent 280k+ students. Last week we saw that when we come together, we can shape the future of AI.

I didn't leave Indeed because I lost faith in AI. I left because I have extraordinary concern about the people responsible for driving it. Thanks to Diane Brady at @FortuneMagazine for the conversation. fortune.com/2026/03/13/ex-…

Proud of this @FortuneMagazine oped, co-authored with my "partner in good trouble" Meme Styles. AI is the most important civil and human rights issue of our time — and HBCUs need to be in the driver's seat, not just along for the ride. fortune.com/2026/03/11/ai-…

7/7 Classes start January 20. Pre-registration is open today. More information and registration here: rebrand.ly/ht-ai-preregis… I hope to see y'all online in a couple of weeks.

6/7 This spring, I'm teaching an expanded version on campus for HT students. Today, I'm excited to announce the expanded course will also be offered online, open to anyone, anywhere, to audit.

I’ve been teaching a new course at @HustonTillotson University: "Responsible AI — history, LLMs, societal impact, and the future of humanity." I'm planning an online version for Spring 2026. If you’re interested, I’d appreciate your input: forms.gle/TMwvYEMMzyho27…

After nearly 15 years of helping people get jobs, I’ve made the decision to leave Indeed. Here is the note I shared with the team. chrishyams.substack.com/p/im-stepping-…

I am working as an election day poll worker on Tuesday. As part of my online Election Day Clerk Training, I got to this bit on logging in to the ePollbook. Apparently someone in the Travis County Elections training division is a #TalkingHeads fan.
