YouTube player

The meeting focused on the importance of incorporating humanistic principles and involving the black community in the development of AI to shape a more just and compassionate world. The meeting began with a prayer and reading from Psalm 28, focusing on seeking mercy and praising the Lord. A meditation on the power of truth and peace was led, using principles inspired by Martin Luther King Jr. The theme of this year’s Martin Luther King service is “mission possible, protecting freedom, justice, and democracy in the spirit of nonviolence.” The development of AI must be guided by humanistic principles and include the involvement of the black community. Technological advancements, including AI, should prioritize service to humanity and uplift communities rather than focusing solely on profit or efficiency. AI has the potential to shape a more just and compassionate world, tackling issues like poverty and climate change. It is important to approach AI development with courage, compassion, and a focus on shared humanity. Computers were developed based on binary logic, which originated from African divination systems. African divination systems used a binary concept and random tosses, similar to how computers make predictions. Computers have a base of eight bits because it was used in African numbering and divination systems. Black people need to get involved in computer science and AI to avoid being left out. Cultural actions and creativity influence the development of technology. Derek Davis provided two websites for learning about technology and mentioned free classes available. Derek Davis discussed using AI to write stories and emphasized the benefits of incorporating research and background information.
