🧑‍💻 Meta's AI Board Lacks Crucial Diversity?

When tech boards look like ‘Spot the Difference’ games... but there are no differences.

Welcome, AI enthusiasts.

Meta just dropped its new AI advisory board lineup, and it's causing quite a stir. But not for the reasons you’d expect.

Picture this: Meta, a tech giant known for pushing AI forward, unveils a board full of tech experts ready to guide the future of AI. Sounds pretty amaz​ing, right? Here’s the twist—every single one of them is a white male. Yup, no women, no people of color. In a world as diverse as ours, that’s got some eyebrows raising sky-high.

Don’t ge​t me wrong—these guys are no slackers. They’re business moguls and entrepreneurs with big ideas. But when we’re talking about AI, it’s not just about business—it’s about creating technology that impacts everyone, everywhere.

Think back to those creepy deepfake videos or the alarming stat that self-driving cars are more likely to miss people with darker skin tones. These are real-world problems that AI can either help fix—or make a whole lot worse if it’s built without everyone in mind.

It’s kind of like trying to design a world for everyone but on​ly seeing it through one lens. You miss the bigger picture.

And that brings us to the million-dollar question: Can a board that looks like this really understand the diverse challenges AI presents? Or is this a golden o​pportunity for new, inclusive AI startups to step in and fill the gap?

One thing’s for sure—there’s a lot to think about. So what do you think? Should Meta shake things up? Or are we on the brink of seeing some fresh faces disrupt the AI scene?

Stay ahead of the game,

P.S. Meta’s silence on the diversity issue is deafening. Will they change course, or is this a chanc​e for new players to paint the AI world with more than just one color? Stay tuned!
