“Diversity is being invited to the party. Inclusion is being asked to dance.”

— Verna Myers

Introduction

Let’s start with addressing what I mean by when I ask if there are black people in AI.

The term AI(Artificial Intelligence) used in this article headline is extensive, let’s narrow it down to the specific parts of AI I’ll be focusing on.

I’ll be focusing on if there are black people in AI Jobs/Roles.

Other areas I could probably cover in the future are AI Ethics, AI Regulations and AI Studies.

This is not a rant article, and my aim is not to vent or highlight the shortcomings of companies or individuals.

If there’s anything I would like you to take away from his article is an idea of how you can help get more black individuals into AI.

So, if you are in a hurry, scroll down to the “What Can I Do” section.

And for those with a bit more time, enjoy.

Be sure to read till the end in order to get the full picture I’m trying to paint here, it’s not all black and white.
