Empowering Black Women in Artificial Intelligence Through Education

Black Women in Artificial Intelligence (BWIAI) aims to revolutionize the field by empowering Black women through education and support.

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.

BWIAI offers various resources, including hands-on learning experiences and an AI career assessment agent, which helps members align their interests with emerging career opportunities in artificial intelligence. She emphasizes that removing barriers enhances innovation, demonstrating BWIAI´s impact across industries such as television, education, law, and medicine.
