# Black in AI A nonprofit and community organization founded in 2017 (co-founded by [[Timnit Gebru]] and Rediet Abebe) to increase the presence and influence of Black researchers in artificial intelligence. It runs workshops, mentorship, and advocacy, and has become a prominent voice in debates over bias, fairness, and representation in AI. In the Right Wing KB it surfaces as a touchstone in the culture-war backlash against "DEI" and AI-ethics work — and conversely as part of the AI-ethics counterweight to accelerationist tech-right ideology. > [!note] Stub > Minimum-viable page created to resolve inbound wikilinks.
