Women in AI
About
Welcome to the first Women in AI Event organized as a side event of Northern Lights Deep Learning Conference NLDL 2022!
Worldwide public institutions, academia and industry should actively strive to improve the position of and increase the visibility of women within the field of AI and tech. By increasing the visibility of women actively contributing in the field of AI, we can together inspire a more inclusive agenda within the otherwise male-dominated field of AI and ensure equal access and equal opportunities for future generations. Our collective goal should be to bring awareness by promoting female role models, and by portraying the breadth of opportunities for AI in society at large. During this Women in AI segment, we will bring together representatives from industry, public administration and research to address the gender disparity in AI today, and discuss initiatives to ensure inclusivity and diversity in AI and in general for the future.
Women in AI event is organized by NORA and SFI Visual Intelligence, hosted by UiT The Arctic University of Norway.
