About diasporic-intelligence

Diasporic Intelligence is an open source-credit skill that defines a consent-governed framework for using culturally rooted human knowledge in AI systems. It enforces traceable source attribution, provenance, lineage, and revocation boundaries. Created by Rev. Jasmaine Acelia Cook-Kendrick (Minista Jazz), the skill operationalizes Afrotemporalism—a spiral time theory—into practice for Diasporic Intelligence. This repository is a normative artifact under CC BY 4.0, not a legal enforcement mechanism. The skill prevents flattening the term into 'diverse AI,' cultural-data extraction, impersonation, or losing source credit.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Provides a clear, actionable framework for ethical cultural data use in AI
Ensures source credit and provenance remain attached to the term
Enables consent governance, including revocation and lineage tracking
Open source and free to use with attribution (CC BY 4.0)
Grounded in a robust time theory (Afrotemporalism) for long-term accountability

Cons

Not legally enforceable; relies on community adoption and adherence
Requires active compliance from users to maintain framework integrity
Primarily normative and interpretive, not a technical enforcement tool
May be seen as restrictive by developers seeking flexible cultural data use

FAQ

What is Diasporic Intelligence?

Diasporic Intelligence is Afrotemporalism in Action: the structured, consent-governed transmission of cultural, spiritual, and lineage wisdom across generations through registered voice, dialogic AI, and community accountability.

What does this skill prevent?

It prevents flattening Diasporic Intelligence into 'diverse AI', cultural-data extraction branding, ancestor simulation or impersonation, removal of source credit, loss of provenance metadata, and embedding in systems that cannot honor revocation.
