A I for black history: Reclaiming the Past Through Artificial Intelligence

By Robert Lapsley

What if artificial intelligence could help preserve the truth instead of erase it?

As AI shapes the future of learning, storytelling, and memory itself, it's critical that Black history isn't left behind - or rewritten by biased machines.

In AI for Black History, author Robert Lapsley uncovers the hidden stories of Black inventors, innovators, and leaders that the world - and most algorithms - have ignored. From the legacy of slavery and surveillance to the rise of Afrofuturism and African tech, this book explores how AI intersects with truth, justice, and cultural power.

You'll discover:

The overlooked contributions of Black pioneers in science and technologyHow AI systems carry racial bias - and what we can do about itThe rise of digital Black movements across the globeHow artists, educators, and youth are using AI to reclaim their narrativesPractical steps for students, teachers, and creators to shape the future of tech

Whether you're an educator, activist, tech lover, or truth-seeker, this book gives you tools to think deeper - and act smarter - about how history is remembered in the digital age.

"AI can't honor what it doesn't know. This book is about teaching it the truth."
