Inside the AI Company That's Putting Black People First | Create Labs x Tonl

While most AI systems struggle to properly represent diverse skin tones and features, these visionary founders have built a solution that puts Black representation at the forefront.
Walter Gainer II ‪@Itsthegreatwalt‬ speaks with with Karen Okonkwo (Tonl) and Abron Maldonado (Create Labs) to learn how how ai is empowering our community and how their collaboration is solving the Bias problem in Image Generation.

Discover how their groundbreaking partnership is creating AI that actually sees us, respects our image, and provides opportunities rather than threats to Black creators.

This isn't just about better AI images—it's about who controls our digital representation and whether we'll be participants or just subjects in the AI revolution.
