The pervasiveness of biased algorithms and increased risk to human lives from flawed AI systems have highlighted an urgent need to address the reckless development and deployment of AI. However, we can’t have a meaningful discussion about the ethics of AI without the inclusion of women and other marginalized groups that have been historically underrepresented in this space.
Join Women in AI Ethics, University of Helsinki, and Aalto University for a timely discussion on the role of women in AI/tech and learn how multi-disciplinary diversity supports our vision for a more inclusive and ethical tech future.
Women in AI Ethics (WAIE) is a global community with a mission to increase recognition, representation, and empowerment of women in AI ethics. This organization started with the publication of the “100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics” list in 2018, now published annually to recognize rising stars and pioneers in this space. WAIE have also launched an online directory of Women in AI Ethics to make it easier for conference organizers and recruiters to recruit talented women working hard to make AI ethical, inclusive, and accessible for all. WAIE encourages self-nominations for “100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics” list for 2023.
