Topic: Harnessing AI for Digital Economic Justice: Advancing Equity for Black Americans and the African Diaspora

Date/ Time: Monday, April 14, 2025, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM Eastern Time (US and Canada}

Sponsor/Agency: African American Futures Society

Language: English

Description: This panel explores the intersection of AI and digital economic justice for Black Americans, highlighting their global influence, role in reparations, and connection to the African Diaspora. While AI offers potential, it can deepen racial disparities in criminal justice and finance. The discussion will focus on inclusive AI development, ethical guidelines, and regulations to prevent harm and ensure equitable opportunities. Drawing on UN human rights mechanisms, it will identify actions to promote digital economic justice and a sustainable future for Black Americans, the African Diaspora, and marginalized communities worldwide.
