Artificial Intelligence, Black Realities: Unpacking AI’s True Impact

Join us for “Artificial Intelligence, Black Realities: Unpacking AI’s True Impact,” presented by WURD Radio, DiverseForce, and P4 Hub. This event will take place during Philly Tech Week—a time dedicated to celebrating technology and innovation in the region—and aims to bring to light the unique effects of AI on Black communities.

Artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly, with new tools and uses being introduced faster than many can keep pace with. But the impact of AI on Black communities – from end users to expert technologists – is not a part of most of these conversations. This forward-thinking dialogue hosted by technology and lifestyle expert Stephanie Humphrey will pull apart and dissect the myriad ways that artificial intelligence uniquely impacts Black communities:

• How AI can replicate and reinforce systemic racism
• Inequity of opportunity in tech innovation ecosystems
• The impact of AI on Black workers and employment

We’ll also discuss strategies for empowerment through AI literacy and how artificial intelligence can be leveraged to uplift our communities. This dialogue is not just about understanding AI’s challenges but also about uncovering opportunities for positive impact and growth.

Join WURD Radio on the evening of May 8th at P4 Hub, a Black-owned space that fosters innovation, creativity, and future-facing thought leadership. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with top AI-experts and some of the city’s brightest minds on a topic that is shaping our present and future. Reserve your spot today.
