Join us to kick off the first SFTech4Good event of 2020 at Cloudflare!

Audrey Boguchwal (https://www.linkedin.com/in/audreyboguchwal/) has been a senior product manager at Samasource (https://www.samasource.com/) for 5 years, working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, human behavior, and ethics. She'll walk us through how Samasource delivers high quality, human-powered training data, and validation for the world's leading AI technologies.

She works on SamaHub (https://www.samasource.com/samahub-platform), Samasource’s SaaS platform used to manage the entire annotation lifecycle. The platform links tech customers to Samasouce’s workforce in East Africa. The training data work, paired with soft-skills training, helps Samasource team members launch long-term careers that enable them to move out of poverty.

Audrey will give an overview of Samasource’s AI business, SamaHub technology, and social impact model. She will present a case study on one of Samasource’s customers and talk about some current hot topics in AI: avoiding bias and ethical data sourcing. She will close with advice on how to build a technology career with an impact.
