Women in AI Ireland

It was an absolute pleasure to speak at the Women in STEM Summit & Awards where we tackled the big questions around AI, finance, and the future of inclusion. Conversations like these are crucial as we shape a world where technology works for everyone, not just a few. A huge thank you to Grace Aungier for the invitation and for championing these discussions. And to my incredible fellow panelists Anna Gozdalik-Coakley, Jennifer Ward, Mini Burgula and our fantastic moderator, Jean O'Donnell —what a powerful exchange of ideas! Your insights and perspectives made this session truly memorable. I’m especially proud of my Women in AI Ireland community, where we continue to advocate for ethical AI, representation, and driving change in the industry. Seeing our community show up and be part of this conversation reinforced the importance of having more diverse voices—not just in STEM, but in the very systems shaping our future. The energy in the room was electric, and the takeaways were clear: AI must be built with fairness, accountability, and representation in mind. These conversations don’t end here—we keep pushing forward! #WomenInSTEM #AI #Inclusion #Leadership #STEM #TheFutureIsInclusive

🌍✨ MAKE IT FAIR: A Call for Equality in AI ✨🌍 As AI continues to shape the world we live in, it’s crucial that these technologies are developed with inclusivity in mind. MAKE IT FAIR stands for creating AI systems that work for everyone, regardless of gender, race, or background. At Women in AI, we believe AI has the potential to bring positive change, but only if we ensure that fairness and equality are at the core of its design. It’s time to address bias, promote diversity, and empower underrepresented voices in AI. This March, the month when we celebrate International Women’s Day, we invite all organisations, businesses, and individuals to join the movement and commit to MAKE IT FAIR for ALL. Together, let’s shape an AI-driven future that’s just, inclusive, and fair for everyone. 💡💻 #FairAI #GenderEquality #WomenInAI #EthicalAI #AIForGood #ForAllWomenAndGirls #MakeItFair #InternationalWomenDay #IWD2025 Begüm Genç McEvoy, PhD Catherine Lalanne Nabanita Roy Haoio (Karin) Cheong Adebola Olomo Bhakti Chauhan Georgiana Ifrim Buvana Ganesh Iva Simon-Bubalo Laura Kennedy Naomh McElhatton Andrea Balogh Jadra P.
