Congrats to Primary for a very successful and well attended #NYCTechAwards - good to see the folks from Harlem Capital and 645 Ventures and #infinitereality john pasmore

This is exactly why we built Latimer.ai

History of AI: For x in [general problem solver, perceptron, heuristic programming, rule-based systems, neural nets, deep learning, deep RL, LLMs] : Print("In from three to eight years, we will have a machine with the general intelligence of an average human being.”)

Lots of work to do: euronews.com/next/2024/03/0…

Convening w/ folks in Wash DC to discuss what we know: AI will be disruptive and inclusivity should not be optional. #CongressionalBlackCaucus #CBC thx Elinor Tatum

“Meta’s algorithms steer ads to for-profit universities and universities with historically predatory marketing practices to relatively more Black users than the ads for public universities,” a new study has found.

New w/Dom: Current mainstream AI models lack too much cultural nuance for some communities. As such, chatbots such as latimer.ai and Indigenius AI by CDIAL have popped up in the past year to cater to Black and Brown communities, seeking to capitalize on OpenAI’s cultural slip.
