Angle Bush, the founder and CEO of Black Women in Artificial Intelligence (BWIAI), initially embarked on her journey into technology by seeking to create a robot named Usher to serve hot chocolate. During her research, she discovered the transformative potential of artificial intelligence, sparking a deeper interest in the field.
Recognizing the lack of diversity at AI events, Bush established BWIAI to ensure Black women´s representation in this technological frontier. The organization is dedicated to reshaping the AI community through education, engagement, and empowerment, providing a supportive network for Black women across five continents alongside key industry leaders.
