AI from a Black Guy

This book, enriched by the insights and experiences of Lorenzo Murphy from Compton politics, serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding AI and its implications in the Black community. Murphy's involvement brings a unique perspective, particularly through his introductions to key figures in the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health and Homeless Services. His contributions help in exploring how community advocacy and leadership play a pivotal role in leveraging AI for social good. The relationships fostered through introductions played a pivotal role in shaping this book. They influenced the formation of chapters that begin from the fundamentals, addressing the understanding of code and AI bias. This groundwork paves the way for a comprehensive roadmap aimed at achieving a level playing field in technology and AI applications. BlackPowerAI.com, a platform that intersects technology, community empowerment, and AI digital literacy, is a crucial aspect of this narrative. This website serves as a testament to the book's core message - bridging the digital divide and promoting servant leadership, as exemplified by Jeffrey Wofford and his involvement with Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., Epsilon Mu Chapter. This book is not just a resource but a call to action for readers to engage with AI in a way that is informed, equitable, and transformative."
