Black in AI

The people and ideas that make this possible.

A living resource hub. Pioneers, communities, and essays that treat you as a builder and a critic—not a diversity statistic.

Pioneers

Computer scientist; co-founder of Black in AI and the Distributed AI Research Institute.

Founder of the Algorithmic Justice League; Gender Shades research on facial-analysis bias.

AI accountability researcher; audits, dataset documentation, and public-interest ML.

Computer scientist; co-founder of Black in AI; work on algorithms and social inequality.

Computer scientist; data privacy, re-identification risk, and public-interest technology.

Community, workshop, and scholarship network for researchers and practitioners in AI.

Research and advocacy on how AI can encode and scale bias—and how to fight that.

Essays we want in circulation. Full posts will live here as they are published—titles below are the editorial lane, not filler bylines.

How we think about interviews, portfolios, and rooms that were not designed with you in mind—without shrinking.

Project ideas that serve real needs: small-business automation, health navigation, local information, civic tools.

Bias, evaluation, and documentation are not electives. They are how you ship systems people can trust.
