In this Imagine AI Live 25 pop-up podcast, recorded at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas, host Chris Madden speaks with Theresa Kennedy and Michael Evans of the Black History Foundation. They introduce their work on Black History GPT, an AI model designed to provide de-biased historical information, using a unique decentralized process for data vetting through researchers and community voting. The discussion covers the crisis in preserving Black history, the challenges museums face securing long-term funding, and the problem of inaccurate or omitted historical records. Kennedy, a veteran in AI and blockchain, and Evans, an expert in data verification, describe how they use immutable blockchain technology to create a permanent, globally accessible archive of Black history.
