WHY IT MATTERS

Black Innovation Belongs at the Centre of the AI Economy

AINBI exists to ensure Black communities are not left behind, but are leading, building, and owning the future of artificial intelligence.

Access

AI education and digital skills must be available to the communities most often excluded from technology spaces.

Representation

Black voices, experiences, and leadership must shape how AI systems are designed, governed, and scaled.

Ownership

Black innovators should build, own, and scale AI solutions that create opportunity and long-term community power.

Impact

Inclusive AI can support education, entrepreneurship, research, policy, public services, and economic transformation.

Our AI Adoption Day

On May 6, 2026, We partnered with Global AI Adoption Day to mobilize Canadians and promote inclusive participation in the future of artificial intelligence. Through this global initiative, we helped raise awareness, encourage AI learning and adoption, and ensure Black communities are part of Canada’s growing AI ecosystem.

Our Recent Policy Submission to Canada’s Minister of AI

Our policy report highlights the barriers Black communities continue to face in accessing, shaping, and benefiting from artificial intelligence in Canada. It also presents practical recommendations to advance equity, strengthen Black leadership and economic opportunity, improve access to AI skills and innovation, and support the development of more inclusive and responsible AI systems.
