🌍💜 The celebration of inspiring women in deep tech doesn't end with #InternationalWomensDay. Despite the challenges, from underrepresentation to underfunding, many eminent female scientists, entrepreneurs, and unsung heroines have been instrumental in shaping the future of deep tech.   In the third blog of our #deeptechseries, Weijing Ye discusses how we can further empower women in deep tech. From strengthening educational foundations 👩🎓 and bridging commercialization gaps 💰 to having dedicated support infrastructures and communities specific to the needs of women-led deep tech startups 👩🔬, let's champion a future where deep tech is by everyone, for everyone 🚀   Find out more: https://lnkd.in/grssfZz2 #InvestInWomen #IWD2024 #SDG5

As a woman in the tech industry it is so great to see all the new supports for women. The government is beginning to invest in women, investors are investing in women, and community organizations are beginning to notice the impact women can have on the tech industry. Tech for me began at a young age. I learned how to build computers at 8 years old with my dad that owned a computer store. As kids we got to custom design our computers the way we wanted them. Now with my new venture I am redesigning the way independent filmmakers gain distribution and reach global audiences. For me, independent film means the creative freedom to express ourselves in the most vulnerable way possible, through storytelling. These filmmakers continue to defy the standardized ways in which narratives are told and disrupt traditional ways of using film technology. Pyralume led me into important conversations around AI technology and the ways in which algorithms can reinforce polarization and echo chambers or content bubbles. This can have a serious impact on our ability to see different perspectives and validate the humanity in each other. The vision for Pyralume is to create a groundbreaking platform for independent film to reach global audiences while maintaining integrity to the authenticity of diverse narratives being told. I hope my connections on LinkedIn will continue to follow Pyralume as it grows into something supportive of our communities and the diverse ways we see the world. Make sure to sign up to our newsletter to keep up to date on our new developments. We would love to have you as part of our platform launch in the new year! https://pyralume.ca/

There’s immense potential of young women to drive innovation, shape the future of technology, and contribute to global progress. In particular, the intersection of female leadership and advancements in #ArtificialIntelligence presents a remarkable opportunity to harness talent, foster diversity, and address societal challenges. 📈 By providing opportunities for women to explore ICT careers, fostering mentorship, networking, and addressing systemic barriers to entry, we can create a more inclusive and equitable future for all. 🎙 Check out the discussion of the RE:IMAGINE series of Inclusive Plug powered by #RECONOMY with Viktoriia Dvornyk, Data Scientist at Beetroot Academy, and Tyler Foster, President and Chief Technology Officer at Evolv AI. ➡ Watch the videocast here: https://lnkd.in/dCM35bbM Helvetas Ukraine Helvetas Sida Embassy of Sweden in Ukraine

- The first computer program - The first compiler - The frequency-hopping technique - The space math calculations - The Apollo flight software - The YouTube platform Women have been behind many scientific and technological breakthroughs, from the early days of computing to the present day of online media. These women and many more have shown their talent, creativity, and leadership in STEM fields, while overcoming barriers and biases along the way. But we still have a lot of work to do to make the tech industry more diverse and inclusive for women. Did you know that only 27% of STEM workers in the US are women and Latinas even further underrepresented at 3%? We need more women in tech, not just to fill the skills gap, but also to bring different perspectives, experiences, and solutions to the problems we face. I'm proud to be a #latinaintech and work for a company that is committed to creating inclusive and equitable environments for women and increasing the visibility and representation of women in technology. Let’s celebrate the women who have paved the way and also encourage the next generation of women who will shape the future of technology and innovation. Happy International Women's Day! 💜

Back in the day, women fought hard for their rights. Today, we’re pushing boundaries further, especially in tech and AI. Just trained over 200 smart woman in AI, and it’s clear: the game’s changing. We’re making tech fairer, but it's slow. Too slow. Why? Even now, women in tech face hurdles. Not right. We need to speed up, make tech truly equal. That day's training wasn’t just about AI. It was about fairness, opportunity, and changing the old ways. Big thanks to Puglia Women Lead for sponsoring. They get it. Training like this is key. It’s not just about skills. It’s about fixing a bigger problem - making sure everyone, regardless of gender, has a fair shot in AI and tech. We’ve come far since women had to fight for basic rights. But in tech? Still miles to go. Let’s not be okay with slow progress. Let’s push harder. For fairness. For equality. For everyone. #EqualityInTech #PugliaWomenAI #ai

Nice to see "second order" effects of our work, such as this award given to a group that used AI Fairness 360. (h/t Josh Mandell) "Collaborating with the Secretariat of Education of the State of Guanajuato, Itad and partners reviewed anonymised data used to train the early alert system’s AI model. Leveraging IBM-developed open-source tools for detecting and mitigating bias in AI systems, Itad and partners stressed the need to incorporate frameworks that went well beyond the Secretariat’s initial focus on privacy and person data protection. By facilitating a series of comprehensive workshops, the consortium strengthened Secretariat staff’s technical expertise in the ethical, responsible, and inclusive use of AI in the public sector. As a result or the project, the consortium identified a critical gender bias that would have prevented the Secretariat from accurately identifying up to four per cent of at-risk girls who were in jeopardy of interrupting their studies. In short, four out of 100 girls would have missed the help they needed to keep them in school."

Digital inequity, the report says, includes but is not limited to “affordability, reliability, adoption, quality, relevance, digital skills and literacy and representation in the technology sector.” https://lnkd.in/dtabxPSb #digitalinequity #digitalskills #literacy #technology #indigenous
