About the Event
Taking place on May 17th 2024 via the SWARM Community LinkedIn page: LINK
This event is an homage for trailblazing women who are shaping the world of AI + Technology around the world. This is a great opportunity to learn from deeply experienced and thoughtful women working in operations, management, engineering, research, law, and entrepreneurship. Join us in the first Women in AI Forum to participate in a dialogue around some of the most pressing concerns around Artificial Intelligence.
You are guaranteed to walk away with a wider view of the space, trends that are currently in development, and how we can collectively mobilize to responsibly adopt these powerful technologies.
The Women in AI Forum is a 1 day virtual event showcasing the contributions of women in AI + tech from around the world, providing positive role models and meaningful discussions. This event is an effort to provide the public with ideas around how AI is impacting organizations of all sizes, why it is important to understand AI, and how AI can be adopted / leveraged properly.
The 6 panel discussions will cover both technical and human-oriented materials.
