Meet the Future of AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) touches all our lives but decisions about future of AI are concentrated in the hands of a privileged few. The explosion of coding camps and media amplifying select voices from elite institutions have created a false perception that the male-dominated tech industry is only open to those with programming skills or advanced degrees. AI systems developed without diverse perspectives outside this techno-elite bubble are rife with ethical issues and threaten to further worsen societal inequities.
To support our vision for a more inclusive AI tech future, Women in AI Ethics (WAIE) has launched “I am the future of AI” campaign. Launched on International Women's Day with support from the Ford Foundation and Omidyar Network, this campaign will showcase career journeys and work of talented women from multidisciplinary backgrounds building the future of AI.
We will celebrate Women’s History month with social media content, blog posts, and?video interviews introducing activists, artists, anthropologists, philosophers, policy makers, social scientists, researchers, and many others from non-traditional backgrounds who are reshaping this critical space.
By raising awareness about the different pathways into AI and making it more accessible, we want to open up new opportunities for historically underrepresented groups in AI so that together we can build a more equitable and ethical tech future.
This 3-month campaign will conclude in June during Pride month with our semi-annual Women in AI Ethics summit where we will continue to highlight and celebrate diverse voices in AI.

2 年What an enlightening article! Thank you for sharing. Another way to support this effort is to inspire the next generation of AI enthusiasts. I showed my daughter how to build a random forest model using jupyter. She's hooked!

2 年Oh, my goodness, I am so excited for this series. If women don't do this, it won't get done -- and the consequences for society could be dire. Thank you, Mia Dand.
