概要

“Kamau Bobb writes with a piercing clarity about race, history, and technology that does not comfort but confronts. His words do not allow you the luxury of distance. They leave you sharper, more aware, and undeniably changed about the AI crisis we are living through.”—Bettina L. Love, author of Punished for Dreaming: How School Reform Harms Black Children and How We Heal

A meditation on race, technology, and the fight for equitable education


Educated citizens are the lifeforce of democracy. Across all aspects of modern life, and especially in education, AI is raising existential questions. Like any new technology, it is both transformative and problematic.

In this smart exploration of tech, race, and society, Dr. Kamau Bobb meditates on the convergence of American memory and the promises of AI in education. At this critical milestone in American history, this book argues that enthusiasm and clamor for AI are a veil for the vacuous neglect of our nation's racist past. Bobb encourages readers to pause and examine the actual foundation on top of which the grand claims of AI’s potential in education are being built, raising questions like:

  • How does AI change the fundamental structure of American education?
  • How does the application of AI enabled tools affect educational outcomes in schools that are profoundly segregated?
  • When the purveyors of these technologies claim that they will close gaps and improve the educational experience for all students, what does that really mean?

American educational history is overflowing with abuse, segregation, substandard structures, and smoldering scorn. This book grapples with the challenges ahead in achieving equitable education as AI transforms and the nation retracts. At this convergence of technology and racial backlash in education, Bobb provides lessons from America's past to light the path ahead.

批評家のレビュー

“I have waited for this book, not patiently but with the kind of urgency that comes from watching a nation refuse to see itself. I have long hoped that someone would help me, and help this country, reckon with how artificial intelligence and the digital future of America are not simply leaving Black people behind but are actively constructing a world where computing is imagined as the province of the rich and the white, while Black students are left with an education model that echoes the logics of the plantation. Kamau Bobb writes with a piercing clarity about race, history, and technology that does not comfort but confronts. His words do not allow you the luxury of distance. They leave you sharper, more aware, and undeniably changed about the AI crisis we are living through.”
—Bettina L. Love, author of Punished for Dreaming: How School Reform Harms Black Children and How We Heal

The Bullwhip’s Algorithm is the perfect embodiment of its author’s AI: actual intelligence. Bobb brilliantly coded every sentence. From the prologue to the final page, meticulously handcrafted algorithms deliver impressive insights and useful guidance. This book is the race-conscious, equity-driven technological intervention that America and our educational systems desperately need right now.”
—Shaun Harper, author of Let’s Talk About DEI: Productive Disagreements About America’s Most Polarizing Topics

“With moral clarity, Kamau Bobb explores what happens when a nation begins erasing its history while racing toward an unknown technological future. The Bullwhip’s Algorithm is an essential contribution to a much-needed national conversation about education, democracy, and civil rights in the age of AI.”
—Jill Savitt, CEO, National Center for Civil and Human Rights
