Why Bring cultural IQ to AI?

Today algorithms and datasets are limited in understanding different cultural contexts. What does this mean?
• Governments making decisions on smart cities don't have inclusive data.
• ​Businesses expanding into new markets don't have adequate data.

​Can Artificial Intelligence Create
​Culturally-Conscious Stories?
After a well attended symposium in Baltimore at Morgan State University in
​April 2018, we published this report to engage AI experts, policy makers, business leaders, and the general public on the future of Artificial Intelligence, Culture, and Storytelling.
As the daughter of an architect and a scholar, I grew up appreciating culture and history.
In my career as a journalist in public media for 25 years, most of those at NPR News, I designed stories anchored in multiculturalism and steeped in historical context. I'm excited to launch into this next era of storytelling.
