Women, Technology + AI
The genie is out of the bottle. Women need to be part of the DNA of artificial intelligence.
The world is changing, and I firmly believe artificial intelligence will have a profound impact on the future of civilization. That’s why women need to have our hands on the controls, alongside everyone else shaping what comes next.
I know firsthand how intimidating it can be. But once you start building, you begin to understand how fast it is moving, and how important it is to be part of it.
Everyone who is interested or curious should be experimenting, learning and playing with the latest technology. We almost have a duty to understand it, because it is going to shape our future.
And, equally important: we have to live our lives in person, offline. I am not saying give up everything and become an AI builder. I am saying we have a responsibility to understand this technology while staying mindful of how much it matters to be in community.
