Participants will engage in collaborative activities designed to scale the impacts of generative AI on Black imaginaries and vice versa. Emphasizing co-creation and community involvement, we will collectively discuss strategies to build AI systems and more equitable uses that reflect the importance of Black imaginaries especially in the axes of past and present, death and life.
The concept of Black Imaginaries is a transformative framework based on critical race theory and Afrofuturist perspectives. By centering Black imaginaries, we aim to not only mitigate bias but also cultivate innovation and social justice in the development of AI. At the end of the workshop, participants will gain practical insights to advocate for anti-racist practices in their organizations and communities.
Join if you want to reimagine AI ethics through the lens of Black imaginaries, charting a path toward a fairer and more equitable technology landscape.
