Black Writing

Using interviews among herself, her aunt, and her niece, Stephanie Dinkins is creating a multigenerational memoir of a Black American family using artificial intelligence (AI). Not The Only One (N’TOO) is a voice-interactive AI designed, trained, and aligned with concerns and ideals of people who are underrepresented in the tech sector. It pursues the goals of this community through deep learning algorithms, creating a new kind of conversation-based archive. Because the large data sets that enable AI are filled with cultural bias, N’TOO is built on a small data set. This means it often refuses to speak.
