Summer of AI

Whose AI? For whose interests? What Afro-futurist animation can teach us about decolonizing AI for Black worlds This session will attempt to approach AI and AI dystopia from the margins. By centering Black epistemologies and Afro-futurist aesthetics in two recent animation - Iwaju (Disney, 2024) and Jurassic World: Chaos Theory (Animation Works, 2024), I call for a more inclusive design thinking in developing and branding AI technologies for people of color, especially within predominantly White universities and urban ecologies.
