Gender diversity in technology – specifically AI – is lacking. Low-biased, ethical, and fair AI systems require a diverse workforce of humans.

In this panel, we’ll discuss the issue of biases in AI and how increasing diversity in the field of AI can reduce biases and allow for more trustworthy and ethical systems.
