This research paper investigates using artificial intelligence (AI) and image generators to foster rapid ideation among Black design students. It centers on Devonte, a Black undergraduate game design student, and his experiences using image generators as a co-creative tool for designing game characters. Pilot study finds racial and cultural biases in image generators, hindering culturally relevant designs. These biases not only challenge Devonte's creative process but also underscore the broader issue of inclusivity in technological tools. The paper advocates for further discussion and research on addressing these biases, emphasizing the need for image generators that support the diverse cultural backgrounds of users. This is crucial for unlocking the full creative potential of Black students in STEM spaces and ensuring equitable access to technological advancements.
