Tech Talks with Radhika Patel, Software Engineer II at Microsoft

Shaping the Wave: Why the Future of AI Needs Women in the Room

AI is moving fast - transforming industries, decisions, and daily life. But as the wave builds, who’s helping shape it?

In this session Radhika Patel, a Software Engineer II at Microsoft, shares her journey from a coding club in Birmingham to working on Generative AI features and Language Modelling in Big Tech. Along the way, she unpacks how bias shows up in AI systems, why representation isn’t just important - it’s essential - and how diverse voices lead to better, safer, more human technology.

Join us for an exciting conversation about tech, identity, and what women can do to shape the wave.
