SydDT #110: IWD Accelerate Action: Make AI Your Equity Partner
Details
Accelerate Action: What if your AI partner could teach you how to be more ethical and inclusive?
Kylie Mageropoulos has organised another awesome meetup to celebrate International Women’s Day. Join us for a free event designed to empower designers, researchers, and AI practitioners to actively advance gender parity in technology.
The session will provide tools that ensure AI-generated outputs for design can be more ethical, inclusive, and free from gender bias. We focus on some key areas we have control over to start making an impact straight away.
Embrace the spirit of "Accelerate Action" as we explore a practical, three-layer framework that embeds ethical practices into your creative process.
Beyond the framework, you'll be invited to user-test a proof of concept powered by genAI - an ethical, inclusive, and bias busting partner that refines and uplifts your prompts, analyses your data and give you guidance on best practices.
This innovative tool is tailored to #AccelerateAction and designed to support anyone creating solutions that truly serve all communities.
