Remarkable Women in AI - Building an Inclusive Global AI Ecosystem

A series of global discussions on diversity in AI beyond training data. Artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to contribute over $15 Billion to the global economy by 2030 (PWC) and shape the future of human society. A critical challenge for the industry to live up to its potential is the need for more diversity in the development, research, application, and evaluation of new AI technology. With their series “Remarkable Women in AI,” the AI Competence Center at German Entrepreneurship and the Transatlantic AI eXchange invite all genders to a series of inspirational, educational, collaborative, and global discussions on gender diversity in AI – with the aim of inspiring attendees to take steps in their respective roles to address the gender gap in AI. The last session of the “Remarkable Women in AI” series in 2023 evaluates gender diversity in a cross-cultural exchange between Europe, US and Singapore. The AI Competence Center at German Entrepreneurship and Transatlantic AI eXchange are excited to invite guests to an interactive panel -- to recognize the importance of diversity in the development of AI and the role of culture in promoting the inclusion of women in AI -- and to enable a bilateral exchange of success strategies for accelerating change.
