Charles D. Brown II, a physics postdoc at UC Berkeley, and Jessica Esquivel, a physics postdoc at the Fermi National Accelerator Lab, take a look at Black physicists and their contributions to the scientific community, and the risks of ignoring a significant portion of the American population. "The lack of representation of Black individuals in artificial intelligence (AI) has major consequences. AI systems are designed to mimic human intelligence, and they have taken hold of our lives, from the targeted ads we see when we are shopping online to the "recommended" section on a Netflix home page. Although these systems offer significant societal benefits, too many of them have detrimental effects on the Black community."
