Women in Tech: The Future of AI
Friday, November 16, 201811:00am - 5:00pmBanatao Auditorium, Sutardja Dai Hall, UC Berkeley
Since Ada Lovelace wrote the first computer program nearly 200 years ago, women have contributed to the advancement of computing & helped pave the way for today's artificial intelligence (AI). Today, women are pushing the frontiers of AI in applications from robotics to recruiting, from startups to venture capital. Equally far-reaching are women's contributions to investigate AI's social, ethical, & legal implications. For all the promise of new technology, AI can exacerbate negative effects when it reinforces biases & inequalities.
Estimates show that women comprise only 13.5 percent of those working in machine learning, one of the fastest growing technology fields. Thiswell-recognized gender gap continues to deter talent & diminish potential for the field, which will affect innumerable aspects of our economy & everyday lives.
WITI@UC imagines a different future.
At this year's symposium, we will highlight the experiences of women in AI & explore our collective future with representatives from established companies, startups, academia, & the public sector.
The event will also feature the WITI@UC Athena Awardsrecognizing those who have championed the advancement of women in technology.
The symposium is open to everyone, encouraging a broader audience to join the conversation. Attendees will have the opportunity to share experiences, establish new connections, & collectively champion the advancement of women in technology.
