Yesterday, RTRS had the privilege of attending a remarkable Woman in Tech event in the vibrant city of Chicago. The event buzzed with energy as attendees, including representatives from Abbott, McDonald's, John Deere, United Airlines, State Farm, Discover, Gallagher and Adyen, gathered to celebrate and amplify the voices of accomplished women across various industries. The keynote speakers illuminated the stage with their wisdom, showcasing how championing a diverse workforce not only fosters innovation but also propels companies to the forefront of the tech industry. One of the central themes of the event was the future of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its profound impact on the tech landscape. While AI isn't a novel concept, its rapid accessibility to the general public underscores the need for adaptability among tech professionals. As technology continues to evolve at breakneck speed, we must embrace flexibility in navigating the ever-changing career terrain it presents. However, amidst the excitement surrounding AI's potential, discussions also delved into a critical concern: data bias. As AI systems increasingly shape decision-making processes, the inherent biases within these models pose significant challenges. The consensus was clear – combating data bias requires a multifaceted approach, with the employment of a diverse workforce emerging as a powerful antidote. By bringing together individuals from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, we can better analyze and mitigate biases embedded within AI algorithms. The event served as a poignant reminder of the pivotal role women play in driving innovation within the tech space, both globally and within our own Chicago community. From groundbreaking research to disruptive startups, women continue to redefine the boundaries of what's possible in technology. Their presence not only enriches our industry but also serves as an inspiration for future generations of aspiring technologists. As we reflect on the insights gleaned from the Woman in Tech event, it's evident that fostering diversity isn't just a moral imperative – it's a strategic advantage. By embracing inclusivity and championing the voices of women in tech, we not only cultivate a more vibrant and dynamic industry but also pave the way for a future where innovation knows no bounds. Let's continue to celebrate and empower the diverse talents shaping the tech landscape, one breakthrough at a time. #womenimpactech #moniquescheidler #realtimerisksolutions

Powerful piece by Alex Head on navigating Tech as a Women Leader: https://lnkd.in/gQxxrEd4 Sharing my learnings from my journey (so far): 1/ Don't let Imposter Syndrome stop you- use it to stay curious, take risks and embrace new experiences/roles/stretch assignments 2/ The industry is ever changing- so keep learning and building on those skills. Stay on top of the game. 3/ Find your tribe- find a network and community that you are proud to be part of and nuture it. It takes work- remember to give back! 4/ Advocate and champion ID&E- as Alex mentions in her point 4/ working with other women in Tech gives you instant champions.

Today, as we celebrate International Women's Day, I want to take a moment to recognize and honor the incredible contributions of women in the tech industry. As the CEO of a GenerativeAI company, I've witnessed firsthand the power of diversity in driving innovation and creativity. Women bring unique perspectives, ideas, and leadership styles essential to our industry's success. Despite their immense contributions, women remain underrepresented in tech. It's not just a matter of fairness; it's a matter of harnessing the full potential of human talent. As leaders, we are responsible for creating inclusive environments where women can thrive, feel valued, and continue to break barriers. At Touchcast, we believe that by empowering women, we can unlock new possibilities and lead the way in AI innovation. I want to thank every woman in our company for being on the team and sharing your passion, skills, and knowledge. Your contributions help keep Touchcast a step ahead in harnessing the potential of GenAI and the Generative Web. Happy International Women's Day! #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInTech #DiversityInTech #AIIndustry
