AI and gender equality: I’m now a traveling communicator.
I’m bringing this message to different contexts, from business debates to scientific outreach meetings.
Audiences change, examples change, but the question remains: who writes the future of artificial intelligence and who has the power to shape it?
My mission
Soon I’ll also have a new tool at my disposal, a “travel kit” to share questions and build awareness. But no spoilers for now. #staytuned
Irony aside, I feel like it’s a mission.
My first goal is to build awareness: to make gaps visible, recognize stereotypes, and understand that choices about AI affect the opportunities, autonomy, and future of everyone. It’s difficult to change something we can’t see yet.
On October 13th, I spoke about it at the Ada Lovelace Day, organized by the Piedmontese Museum of Informatics at the Toolbox Coworking in Turin, together with Marta Depetris, Michela Bertaina, Serena Aprano, Agnese Vellar, and Emanuela Mazza.
Different experiences and perspectives that have given substance to the value of multidisciplinarity.
I started with Ada Lovelace and the essential contribution of women to the origins of computer science.
To arrive at the current paradox: women participate in the AI supply chain, but remain less present in the most recognized technical roles, where objectives and investments are decided, and the professions where they are predominant are at greater risk of being replaced by AI.
Thanks to MuPin, the other speakers, those who participated, and those who made the evening possible.
The tour continues. With the hope that, at each stop, someone will leave with an extra question.
And perhaps something will begin to change.
