Bobb has been immersed in STEM education at Georgia Tech, Google, and the National Science Foundation. He weaves together the many threads of race, technology, and American history, alongside his own personal history as an immigrant son of Guyana, to clarify the stakes for Blacks as we enter an AI-dominated world. From school segregation to today’s bans on teaching accurate American history, he argues, elite education has remained largely closed to Black students, shutting them out of AI leadership positions. He identifies this as a dangerous political moment in which “the president of the United States asserts that Black people eat dogs, diversity and equity are criminally divisive, and Critical Race Theory is the ideology of radicalized terrorists.” Math and computer science are keys to equity, he argues. He invokes voices—including James Baldwin, Derrick Bell, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Nelson Mandela—in assailing tech giants who have abandoned their ethics: “They are building the equipment for modern slavery and not considering their responsibility to the modern slave.” The author dismisses much AI-literacy rhetoric as “training masquerading as collective investment” and cautions that “neither will AI prevent racial animus from strangling the country. On the contrary, it may tighten its grip.” Bobb’s final arrow is aimed squarely at tech leaders’ claims of the benefits of AI for all: “Does it render the path to freedom or slavery?...will this render freedom, and for whom?” This valuable and wide-ranging cultural and social analysis offers an eye-opening recontextualization of the tech industry’s embrace of AI, illuminating the entanglement of race and technology.
