Artificial Intelligence didnât start in Silicon Valleyâand it didnât start recently. Long before todayâs AI boom, a Black scientist laid critical groundwork that modern AI systems still rely on. In this video, we uncover the overlooked history behind AI and why the title âFather of AIâ deserves a deeper, more honest conversation.
We break down the legacy of David Blackwell, a pioneering mathematician and statistician whose work in probability theory, game theory, and decision-making under uncertainty directly influences how machines learn, optimize, and make decisions today. From Markov decision processes to statistical inference, Blackwellâs contributions shaped the mathematical foundation of artificial intelligenceâyet his name is rarely mentioned. This is the history many were never taught.
