International Women's Day: Celebrating Leading Minds in AI By Yazmin How on Mar 08, 2018

Today is International Women’s Day, and we’re celebrating by highlighting some of the leading ladies in AI, machine learning and deep learning who have spoken at RE•WORK Summits and dinners over the past 12 months. Whilst the technology industry is seeing more and more women take on top roles, the gender imbalance is still clear. At RE•WORK, we’re passionate about encouraging young women and girls into STEM and are proud to host our series of dinners and our Podcast celebrating women in AI.

At RE•WORK, we are constantly supporting girls and women working in technology and bring together leading female minds in AI at our ‘Women in’ dinner series, and also as speakers at our summits.At the recent AI Assistant Summit in San Francisco, 50% of the expert speakers were women, which in a still male dominated industry really highlights the progress women are making to receive equal opportunities in top roles.

Ada Lovelace Day: Meet Leading Women in ML By Rebecca Summers on Oct 11, 2017

Historically, technology and scientific research has been a vastly male dominated sector. In recent years, the rise of female CEOs in companies such as CEO of Yahoo, Marissa Mayer and CEO of YouTube, Susan Wojcicki, has improved the gender balance, but encouraging young women into careers in artificial intelligence and computer science is still a struggle. Tonight, at the Women in Machine Intelligence Dinner in Montreal, we will hear from inspirational women working in AI and learn about not only their research progressions, but their place as women in the industry.
