Why are we doing this program?

In collaboration with the CRRF National Anti-Racism Fund, this program tackles the growing issue of hate speech and algorithmic bias, which disproportionately affects BIPOC communities. By using AI-driven solutions, the program aims to foster a more inclusive digital environment and mitigate the harmful effects of bias in technology. The collaboration with CRRF enhances the program's credibility, aligning with broader anti-racism efforts and helping to develop actionable tools that create tangible societal change.
