National Black MBA Association forms AI Advisory Council as it considers the future of work
The National Black MBA Association (NBMBAA) has announced it has formed an AI Advisory Council, led by Interim CEO Orlando Ashford and launched the NBMBAA AI Academy.
The Council aims to support the organization’s members with the necessary tools, knowledge and resources to lead in the AI-driven economy.
"We want our members to understand their superpower and what enables them to show up as their best self at work, armed with the knowledge to pivot—whether that means leveraging AI in a current role, seeking a new one, or pursuing that entrepreneurial idea you have," explains Ashford.
"The National Black MBA Association is building the resources, through our AI Academy, to enable whichever path is true for you."
The Council includes:
Angle Bush, CEO, Black Women In Artificial Intelligence
Dwayne Dixon, AI Practitioner & Executive Advisor
Charlotte Lewis Jones, Founder & CEO, Grey AI
James Francis, Founder, Artificial Integrity & Sole.AI
The AI Advisory Council will guide the AI Academy’s curriculum and partnerships, including pending collaborations with collegiate institutions.
The NBMBAA says its formation solidifies its role as a proactive leader dedicated to addressing systematic inequalities within emerging technologies, as well as as career advancement.
