Nvidia, a global leader in AI, has announced a strategic partnership with California Black Media (CBM) to support black-owned newspapers across California.
This collaboration will create a resource that uses AI to preserve nearly a century of journalism by Black journalists in the state.
AI training based on a century of black journalism
As part of the partnership, Nvidia will train a large language model (LLM) using nearly a century of journalistic work by Black journalists in the state.
This commitment will not only preserve the rich history of Black journalism, but will also enable newspapers to use AI tools to innovate and remain competitive in a rapidly changing media landscape.
“This collaboration with Nvidia puts the Black press at the forefront of journalism and technology, opening up innovative opportunities that will drive the future of our industry,” said Regina Wilson, CEO of CBM.
Adaptation to national educational initiatives
In addition to the partnership with CBM, Nvidia also announced a collaboration with the state of California to provide generative AI training for educators and students.
This initiative aligns with the state’s broader goals for workforce development and economic growth and ensures that California’s educational institutions have access to cutting-edge AI resources.
