Emerging Talents in AI

Artificial intelligence is not a passing fad. It’s here to stay in nearly every industry, from consumer electronics to healthcare to financial services. Black professionals are making tremendous advances in AI and emerging technologies worldwide. Their contributions change the industry, from data scientists and machine learning engineers to AI researchers. The likes of Timnit Gebru, Fay Cobb Payton, and Mark Dean continue to make groundbreaking discoveries in the field of science and artificial intelligence.

The growing need for AI professionals creates various opportunities for Black professionals seeking to enter the area. Artificial intelligence software engineers, artificial intelligence research scientists, data analysts, and artificial intelligence project managers are in high demand. 
Startups, technological companies, academic institutions, and government agencies aggressively seek diverse people to drive innovation using artificial intelligence. Furthermore, initiatives such as AI scholarships, mentorship programs, and diversity-focused organisations give tools and assistance to assist Black professionals in thriving in AI. 

Black Professionals Road into AI

As AI advances, it is critical to cultivate and encourage Black experts in the sector.
