Self-eSTEM’s Post

As Erin Mote discusses here, there are MANY women working in #AI. They're running AI-related companies, developing new technologies, educating students, and working in a wide variety of business sectors. Some of them are my colleagues at Intel. Check out the list of "Women in AI in Education" shared below. I'm honored to be included in this group of education technology leaders and look forward to learning from the others. #AIforEducation #IntelEdu #IamIntel #AIforALL

Can you guess how many Latinx classmates I had during my master of management in AI? Sadly Zero :/ But this doesn't mean there's a lack of Latinx talent in this space; it simply means I had to find them elsewhere. So, I reached out to my Women Techmakers community and after connecting with some members, we realized the need for more Latina representation in AI. ✨And that's when the idea of a 12-month series about AI was born! While we'll feature speakers from various backgrounds, most of them are Latinx, ready to showcase the exciting work they're doing in this field. I'll introduce the first 6 sessions with their speakers next week, but in the meantime, you can register using the form below ⬇️ Reach out with any questions and get ready to learn together about AI 💜 #artificialintelligence #professionaldevelopment

✨ Thrilled to share our latest article: "Creating Inclusive and Equitable STEM Environments in the AI Era"! In it, Tammora Warren dives deep into why fostering inclusivity and fairness in STEM fields is critical, especially amidst the transformative wave of AI. 🚀 While AI has changed the way we live and work, it is essential to recognize the importance of diversity and inclusion. By prioritizing inclusive data sets, supporting diverse talent, and committing to ethical AI practices, businesses can drive innovation that truly makes a difference. ➡ Here is the link to the article: https://lnkd.in/eghnauTn #DiversityInSTEM #AI #Inclusivity #TechInnovation  

My book arrived a couple of days ago and it's been a humbling experience. It is nice that I can talk about AI freely and Black women are included in the conversations. The best bit is that they understand it 😊👌. My book She, DISTRUPS!, is about Black woman’s journey in STEM | AI industries. This book speaks to everyone 😊 #ai #technology #STEM #blackwomenintech #web3community #BeMedigitalinclusion

Happy International Women’s Day! Today we would like to take a moment to reflect on (some of the) the remarkable women who have shaped the trajectory of artificial intelligence throughout history - without them, none of us would be where we are today! Let’s shed light on the groundbreaking achievements of these women but also recognize the countless others who contribute their intellect and passion to this field: 👩💻 Ada Lovelace (1815-1852): as the world's first computer programmer, Ada Lovelace envisioned the potential for machines to manipulate symbols, laying the foundation for the field of artificial intelligence. 🌟 Grace Hopper (1906-1992): as innovator in computer science, Grace Hopper played a pivotal role in the development of programming languages and the creation of the compiler, influencing the landscape of AI. 🚀 Fei-Fei Li: as a leading computer scientist whose work in computer vision and machine learning has propelled the field forward, Fei-Fei Li’s efforts and dedication to advancing technology is shaping the future of AI. 💻 Dr. Joy Buolamwini: as a “poet of code” and a computer scientist, Joy Buolamwini advocates for ethical AI. Her work focuses on bias in facial recognition technology, emphasizing the importance of fairness and accountability in AI systems. 🤖 Cynthia Breazeal: as the founder of Jibo, Cynthia Breazeal’s work is focused on social robotics. Her contributions to the development of social robots highlight the intersection of AI and human interaction. It's essential to recognize and amplify the voices of women in the current AI space who contribute daily to the field's growth and innovation. By creating jamie, we are excited to save incredible women at least 10 hours a week, so that they can use this time for their passion projects, creative pursuits, and really for whatever they want. So, let’s use this day not just to celebrate, but also to advocate for equal opportunities and representation in AI. #internationalwomensday #womeninai #stemwomen #inclusiveai #diversityintech

From The Brookings Institution - Black women in AI: Building a more inclusive and equitable future Monday, December 4, 2023 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. EST The Brookings Institution, Falk Auditorium 1775 Massachusetts Avenue N.W. Washington, D.C. 20036 On December 4, join the Center for Technology Innovation at Brookings for a discussion with Black women experts in equitable AI, who will share their work and insights and discuss the prospects of more balanced, ethical, and diversely built and monitored AI systems. The panel will also discuss the imperative of more inclusive AI design, the impact on vulnerable populations, and how democratized versions of AI must include leaders who understand the lived experiences of affected consumers. Nicol Turner Lee, Brookings senior fellow and CTI director, will moderate the discussion and give a presentation on the center’s new AI Equity Lab. This event will be open to attend in person or to watch online.

Do lazy movie stereotypes put women off science? 'It is hardly surprising to hear that there is a lack of diversity in the portrayal of artificial intelligence researchers in movies. There is too often an assumption in popular culture that a scientist, inventor or programmer is male, nearly always white and, of course, a driven, eccentric genius. It is a deeply damaging and lazy stereotype, and needs to be dispatched to the dustbin of social and creative history'. An interesting opinion, and not just one for Science, but for all STEM subjects. Ladies, it's your platform - Has the portrayal of women (or lack of) in popular culture, influenced your perception of your ability or the pursuit of your career?
