The world has become wired differently; everything seems to be at your fingertips via computers, phones, and tablets for children. The raising of technology has allowed many students to venture into the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI allows anyone to type in a topic, and the computer will do all of the work- for example, if you need a three-page essay on golf, you simply type in the word golfing facts and word amount, and AI will generate the essay. The AI system itself is a hindrance to students who use the system incorrectly, but it also helps with people who struggle with writing and typing as a whole. 

Although it feels common for most, there are societies and groups of people who do not have the luxury to access technology due to their social status. Commonly, in lower funding communities, there are not typically community centers that provide computers to lower youth. This causes a disparity in their learning and can impact their lives. Even something as simple as learning to type can go untaught, leaving their access to jobs slim. 

The lack of technology in schools creates a vast discrepancy of teaching differentiation, which in turn deems students being under prepared for life after graduation. The access to technology can enhance education. Within a classroom at private schools, the students usually are given a computer or a device to help with difficult concepts. In schools with lower socioeconomic status, students do not have access to computers or, in the worst case scenario, even libraries to help further their education. 

AI interrupts a vast amount of synthetic information, which in turn lacks the knowledge to incorporate different social norms, which can lead to false narratives and perspectives being input into the outsourcing. AI plays a part in not recognizing African American faces on simple applications, such as the Iphone and other technological solicitations, this results in demeaning confidence and furthering the idea that all African Americans look the same, and carry the same facial features.

Consuming and using AI can be detrimental; just as consuming unhealthy food becomes an issue, it creates a lack of learning to write and produce individual thoughts and perspectives. Regrettably, many African American communities are not afforded the opportunity to learn the system and demonstrate how it can improve the lives around them. This idea entirely demonstrates how society wants African Americans to be depicted – less than others and simply uneducated to the modern-day societal norms. 

AI has taken on many aspects of life by storm, from simple tasks such as student essays to monumental devices such as AI-driven cars. Even with the vast amount of search engines it is nearly impossible to find a photo with black people using or acknowledging AI. Search engines such as Google and Microsoft Bing only depict Caucasians within the field, furthering the narrative that African Americans either can not comprehend the job or are simply not welcome. 

AI technological degrees are becoming more prevalent throughout the United States and globally in general. If a student is not well-versed in technology, which unfortunately most African American students are not due to their upbringing, they will continue to miss out on the opportunities that are becoming a huge source of technological advancement and wealth. 

Although AI is intended to interrupt human encounters, it mostly lacks the ability to decipher the purpose of use, especially in undeformed African American communities. This is due in part to the aspect that AI does not factor in common language processing and efficiency to deliver a message to the masses without bias. AI generally lacks the ability to display human emotions, due to the fact that the item itself is not human. AI as an element proves to be another way of how African Americans receive the short end of the stick.
