“We need diverse opinions, perspectives, and ideas in order to have equitable technology experiences. Folks of colors are dramatically missing from AI development, training, and jobs. I believe AI4ALL is instrumental in changing that.”
Dr. Desmond Patton, Associate Professor, Columbia University + Columbia AI4ALL Co-director
