CEO, Gelyn Watkins and Black in AI Featured in the Ford Foundation's Make It Count.

We’re thrilled to share that our CEO Gelyn Watkins and Black in AI were featured in the Ford Foundation's Make It Count. Make It Count highlights an organization and the social justice number that people should know based on their work.

Our number is 117, to highlight the 117 countries (more than 60% of the world’s nations!) that Black in AI’s global membership of more than 5,900 AI technologists, researchers, founders and policy experts represent.

Technology is reflective of those who make it. With artificial intelligence rapidly transforming both industry and daily life, an ethical and equitable future for all depends on hashtag#AI research, innovation, and policy that prioritizes global perspectives.
