“Decoding the Future, One System at a Time.”

Fifth Industrial Revolution AI (5IR AI) is the civic storytelling and public-facing media platform of the Digital Sovereignty Coalition (DSC) — a rising nonpartisan movement dedicated to preserving freedom, civil liberties, and democratic agency in the age of artificial intelligence. Through documentary-style media, viral explainer videos, and investigative essays, 5IR AI pulls back the curtain on how technology, government, and private industry are reshaping the rules of life, often without the public’s consent or awareness.

Founded by Everett N. Kelsey Jr., 5IR AI is more than a content channel — it’s the cultural engine of a new Digital Civil Rights Movement. Everett, a technologist, futurist, and former entertainment industry professional, launched 5IR AI to fill a critical gap: the need for accessible, deeply researched, and emotionally resonant media that empowers everyday citizens to understand and challenge the forces of surveillance capitalism, algorithmic governance, and techno-authoritarian consolidation.

But 5IR AI is not an island — it sits at the heart of a larger ecosystem built to restore agency and ethical balance in emerging technologies:

·  BLKMKT Tech serves as the systems and strategy consultancy, helping organizations navigate AI, cloud infrastructure, and data governance with a focus on sovereignty and social good.

·  BLKMKT AI is the software development arm — AI tools designed to embed cultural fluency and ethical alignment into future systems.

·  The Digital Sovereignty Coalition (DSC) acts as the policy, funding, and coalition-building body, driving forward systemic reform and organizing a nonpartisan network of technologists, educators, civil society leaders, and policymakers.

·  5IR AI is the megaphone — the messenger, the translator, and the town crier — telling the stories that connect people to these invisible systems and the stakes they represent.

At the core of it all is Everett’s lineage — the moral legacy of his grandfather, Dr. George D. Kelsey, the theologian and scholar who mentored and deeply shaped the thinking of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. Kelsey’s teachings on the ethical imperative of justice, the moral weight of leadership, and the responsibility to confront systems of oppression are the spiritual blueprint for 5IR AI’s work. His values live on in the movement Everett now leads — not in scripture, but in source code, media, and civic architecture.

In an era where digital infrastructure has become the new terrain of civil rights, 5IR AI exists to ask the hard questions: Who owns the cloud? Who governs the code? Who gets to decide the future?

And more importantly: How do we reclaim it — together?
