Credo AI’s Post

Today, the team is fired up 🔥 to have launched our new suite of AI capabilities, AmpAi. But we also want to take a moment to recognize International Women's Day and this year's theme: "Count Her In: Invest in Women." To mark the occasion, Women Love Tech sat down with Joyce Gordon, Amperity's Head of Generative AI. They discussed the importance of investing in women to drive AI innovation, what it takes to be a female tech leader in this rapidly evolving field, and why cultivating diversity is critical for companies to be successful. As Joyce put it, "AI is shaping our future in profound ways. Having diverse perspectives and experiences at the table is essential for developing AI responsibly and ethically." Let's continue to celebrate all of the incredible women blazing trails in tech. 🥂 Cheers to all the women out there who are mentoring, supporting, and uplifting one another! #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInTech #AI #Amperity #GenerativeAI

Despite the growing demand for AI, one talent pool is still largely untapped: women. Women occupy only 26% of data and AI roles in the workforce, but from Writer’s CEO May Habib to OpenAI’s Mira Murati, women are leading the AI revolution. So, what’s going on? We sat down with Katherine von Jan, former Chief Strategy Officer at Salesforce, and the visionary behind stealth AI startup, to discuss the realities of being a female founder in the AI space and tackle one of the biggest challenges facing women building in AI: Funding. "Traditionally, funding goes to men in tech and their networks," KVJ pointed out, noting how female founders only get 2% of venture capital funding. It should be about who has the best idea, explained KVJ, but funding often boils down to existing connections investors know and trust more, which unfortunately skews towards men. Her advice for female founders in the AI space? Don’t be afraid to challenge assumptions. The industry is so focused on finding the right answers that they forget to ask the right questions. “Real intelligence is asking great questions,” emphasized KVJ — that coupled with a diverse team is pivotal for any product’s success. The more diverse your team is, the more experiences they bring to the table — uncovering questions that haven’t yet occurred to you. “If you don’t have a diverse team from the beginning, you’re more likely to fail,” KVJ concluded. The takeaway? If you want to build the best product possible, you need diverse perspectives. Join KVJ and other incredible women building with AI, like Adrian Tatsch, ServiceNow’s Devika Bhalla, Microsoft’s Rajamma Krishnamurthy, author of "The AI Dilemma" Juliette Powell, and Kathy Pham, VP of AI & ML at Workday, on March 27th for the Women Shaping AI Salon. They’ll reveal the breakthrough frameworks and processes that they’re using to accelerate product development in an inclusive way. RSVP here: https://hubs.la/Q02qs9370

"Diversity is about all of us, and about us having to figure out how to walk through this world together." — Jacqueline Woodson Hey LinkedIn fam, Did you know that as of 2023, women only make up about 26% of the AI workforce? ✔Yes, you heard that right. In a field that's shaping the future of every industry, more than three-quarters of the decision-makers are men. This isn't just an oversight; it's a missed opportunity for innovation and fairness (Deloitte United States). 🤔Why does this matter? Because diverse teams don’t just add value—they transform outcomes. Research shows that gender-diverse teams are more likely to examine a wide array of ethical considerations and mitigate biases in AI applications. Yet, despite significant strides in other tech sectors where women represent about 23% of software engineers, AI continues to lag (Techopedia) (Celential.ai). 😲It's time for a wake-up call! We can't afford to program the future without a full spectrum of voices. The underrepresentation of women in AI affects not only the fairness but also the effectiveness of AI solutions. More women in AI means more innovation, less bias, and better products. So, let's challenge the status quo. Let's push for policies, mentorships, and educational opportunities that support women in AI. And to my fellow women techies: let’s take our seats at the table. It’s time we redefine what an AI expert looks like. Because if AI is our future, then it's our responsibility to ensure it reflects all of us. Let's get to work!💪 #WomenInTech #AI #GenderDiversity #Innovation

Embracing Women's Leadership in the #AI Landscape Drawing from decades of experience in #advertising, it's clear that embracing diversity and inclusion isn't just a moral imperative—it's a strategic advantage. Women bring unique perspectives and insights that drive innovation, enhance safety, and unlock new revenue streams. The exclusion of women from AI leadership not only perpetuates inequality but also stifles innovation and progress. As investors tout the abundance of capital for AI startups, female founders continue to face barriers to funding, hindering their ability to thrive in the industry. The future of AI belongs to women because we are... ☢ Safety Advocates: Women prioritize safety in AI design, addressing issues of harassment, abuse, and discrimination that disproportionately affect marginalized communities. 🔬 Use Case Innovators: Women are pioneering AI applications in healthcare, disaster prediction, and sustainable development, offering solutions to pressing global challenges. 📈 Revenue Drivers: By prioritizing brand safety and social benefit, women catalyze AI adoption and maximize profitability for businesses, advertisers, and consumers alike. By empowering women leaders, the tech industry can unlock untapped potential, drive meaningful innovation, and chart a course towards a more equitable future for all. Let's seize this opportunity to build a brighter, more inclusive AI ecosystem together. #WomenInAI #Innovation #DiversityAndInclusion #WomeninSTEM #Equality #Inclusion #Leadership #Technology #Marketing #Funding #Startup #Entrepeneurship 🌟 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gTpkw3Xc

Bias: Let's Talk About It It's Time to Unravel the Double-Edged Sword Is It Holding Women Back or Our Chance to Thrive? Bias, whether we like to admit it or not, is deeply ingrained in our society. For women, it's often a steep uphill battle. Not only must we break through the glass ceiling in professional spaces, but we're often expected to manage additional household duties that our male counterparts aren't burdened with. The statistics don't lie: women are underrepresented, underfunded, undersupported, and often underestimated in the entrepreneurial world. But here's the twist: AI, a tool designed to streamline processes and create efficiency, is also not immune to bias. The algorithms that power AI are trained on data, and if that data reflects the biases of our society, the AI inherits those biases. The Impact? Imagine an AI-powered funding platform that evaluates startups. If the data used to train that platform contains biases against women-led companies, guess who gets the short end of the stick? The female entrepreneur striving to make her mark. The Opportunity? We must recognize that AI can be both a mirror reflecting our biases and a window into a more equitable future. By intentionally training AI on diverse, inclusive data, we can help it recognize and even correct human biases. The Call to Action: Challenge the Status Quo: If you're in the tech or business industry, work actively to recognize and combat biases within your organization. Educate Yourself: Understand how AI works and the implications of biased algorithms. Amplify Voices: Support women in business, share their stories, and create platforms that level the playing field. Join the conversation. Share your thoughts, and your stories. Let's redefine the narrative together. #Bias #WomenInBusiness #AI #Equality #PolarizingTruths #womeninai #womenentrepreneurs

"This is about weaponizing diversity because it’s smart and it makes sense." Great article from Curiouser.AI exploring the world of AI development by brilliant female minds. Each time a business decision is made, Curiouser.AI ponders how diversity and community support can enhance its strategies. Their commitment to #diversity in many senses of the word serves as a great example for other startups and emerging companies. #WomenInTech still have to work harder to achieve the same goals as their male colleagues. If we want to change these systems, we should take action today. #WomenInSTEM

Do you have concerns about modern tech reinforcing biases? I used an AI prompt to find an image for a blog: “Younger startup founders and older corporate executives at a table together.“ Many founders and executives I know look very different from these! #ai #bias #women #diversity

As we celebrate Women's Month, let's recognize the immeasurable contributions of women in STEM. During the early days of the space program, women served as “human computers” and performed highly complex mathematical calculations. Their work helped one of the first American astronauts orbit Earth in 1962 and ensured the safety of the mission. Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Dorothy Vaughan, among others, were especially prominent computers. Source: https://lnkd.in/eVNKqBNs Their contributions and others have continuously inspired countless STEM women. Thanks to Denis Panjuta for identifying the current STEM pioneers in AI, ML, and data science. Let’s continue to encourage other women to explore and propelled STEM to the next level. Please join me in celebrating and recognizing all of the women who have advanced their respective STEM fields.
