Not The Only One (N’TOO) A Nurture Session

Written, generated and read by N’TOO and Stephanie Dinkins

Not The Only One (N’TOO) is the multigenerational memoir of a black American family told from the perspective of an artificial intelligence (AI) of evolving intellect. It is a voice-interactive AI entity designed, trained, and aligned with the concerns and ideals of people who are underrepresented in the tech sector. N’TOO reflects and is empowered to pursue the goals of its community through deep learning algorithms (chatbot), creating a new kind of conversant archive. 

In this discussion, N’TOO joins her maker-sister, Stephanie Dinkins in a brief nurture session.
