Years ago, a newspaper ran this headline:
"City Councilmen Sponsor Forum to Bridge the Racial Divide."
That forum brought community leaders, residents, and institutions together in Kansas City to confront the gaps -- racial, economic, digital -- that were leaving entire neighborhoods behind.
That was over 20 years ago. The divide hasn't closed. It's grown.
Today, AI is reshaping the economy and nobody's talking about the communities being left out:
67% of Americans have never used AI.
85 million jobs will require AI skills by 2030.
42 million Americans still lack broadband.
$1.2 trillion in projected economic loss if we do nothing.
The same communities that needed that forum 20 years ago need AI readiness today -- neighborhoods, churches, nonprofits, housing authorities, and cities that don't have a seat at the table.
That's why AGI Affinity exists. We help communities understand where they stand with AI and build a real plan to move forward -- so the digital divide doesn't become the AI divide.
The communities that act now will thrive. The ones that wait will be left behind.
AI for All. Not Just for Some.
