The Father of AI Was a Black Scientist 🤯

The Father of AI Was a Black Scientist 🤯

Author: iHeartPodcasts February 28, 2026 Duration: 19:30

Artificial Intelligence didn’t start in Silicon Valley—and it didn’t start recently. Long before today’s 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 “Father of AI” 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, Blackwell’s contributions shaped the mathematical foundation of artificial intelligence—yet his name is rarely mentioned. This is the history many were never taught.
