----------------------------------
A word from the Founder…
"A technology built without Black voices told on the world. That technology is Artificial Intelligence. The racism and bias it echos, sings our song of sorrow in the language of privilege.
AI is our greatest opportunity to be believed. Even they know, the "data don't lie". For once, technology has become our ally, an unintended consequences of business as usual.
Black people are the sufferer and the solution to the future of technology. Beautifully made to renaissance, access is ours to start over again, this time in a realm not vulnerable to fire.
AI cannot unlearn, so show it the truth. While society politicizes Black skin, culture and history, we solidify it-digitally. The new privilege is permanence, and no permission is needed.
ChatBlackGPT is 1% of our story. Let us continue to create it together."
