Latimer, an AI startup led by CEO John Pasmore, aims to address the issue of bias in AI models.

Pasmore is focused on making AI more diverse and inclusive, and founded Latimer in May 2023. The company utilizes partnerships with historically Black colleges and universities, as well as licensing agreements with Black media companies, to source its training data. Latimer has also partnered with Morgan State University to develop a bias-detection method for AI-generated text. The startup utilizes OpenAI's GPT-3. 5 as its baseline model, incorporating the retrieval-augmented generation process to provide information on Black culture and history.
