Stephanie Dinkins (born 1964) is a transdisciplinary American artist based in Brooklyn, New York.[1] She creates art about artificial intelligence (AI) as it intersects race, gender, and history.[2][3]

Her aim is to "create a unique culturally attuned AI entity in collaboration with coders, engineers and in close consultation with local communities of color that reflects and is empowered to work toward the goals of its community."[4]

Dinkins projects include Conversations with Bina48, a series of conversations between Dinkins and the first social, artificially intelligent humanoid robot BINA48 who looks like a black woman[3] and Not the Only One, a multigenerational artificially intelligent memoir trained off of three generations of Dinkins's family.[5]
