In the week of International Day of Women and Girls in Science, Swift together with WWCode London will explore the role of women and girls in science as it relates to AI and gender balance. As AI is taking the technology industry by storm it becomes intimately intertwined with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion concerns, including from a gender balance perspective. From ensuring that datasets used to train AI models are representative to promoting diverse representation within AI research teams and addressing any biases that may be present in AI systems. At this event our panel will share their expertise, experience, and viewpoints on the intersection of AI and gender balance and then will exchange ideas on its various aspects.
