"Knowledge is an asset with lifelong returns, and there's no greater time than now to absorb knowledge with the same urgency that it's being presented."

The Founder

Stefan Youngblood

Founder & CEO, Black AI Think Tank

It started with a simple question on Clubhouse: "What is ChatGPT?" Four hundred people showed up. Then 600 across two platforms. Then a national literacy week with 700 registrants and 40+ speakers.

Then Robert F. Smith reshared it on LinkedIn.

Stefan didn't set out to build the largest Black AI community. He set out to make sure no one got left behind. The community built itself around that mission.

"Four decades of impact. One clear mission: AI literacy is as natural as reading, and the Black community doesn't just have a seat at the table — it designed the table."
