In this episode of “Back in America,” we sit down with Tamar Huggins ( / tamarhuggins ) , founder and CEO of TechSpark (techspark.ai/) , a platform empowering Black, Indigenous, and people of color through technology education. Tamar shares her journey from building computers with her father to launching Sparkplug, an innovative AI tool that translates classical literature into African American Vernacular English (en.wikipedia.o...) (AAVE). We explore the critical issues of AI bias, the importance of diverse training data, and how education can bridge gaps in tech. Tamar explains why she considers Sparkplug a “human AI” and discusses her mission to make technology accessible and inclusive for all students.
