Episode notes
Griot and Grits Project
- Ty McDuffie and Sherrod Griffin are developing Griot and Grits, an AI-powered oral history project.
- They aim to preserve and enhance stories from Black communities by supplementing them with historical data.
Custom AI Model
- Don't immediately build a complete AI model like ChatGPT.
- Consider a custom solution, starting with data sourcing, quality, storage, and labeling.
Manual First Approach
- If a task can't be done manually, it's unsuitable for AI automation.
- Begin with manual curation and tagging to understand user needs and model accurate AI behavior.
