Sorry to say but for now, the AI ecosystem at the #AIPulse event really looks like a boys club.
So far 10 male speakers and 0 woman. Projects presented are not only funded but also piloted and directed by men (mostly white).
Hopefully the afternoon sessions will have a bit more women’s representation. 🤞🏼
@SuVergnolle NNAI (neural network artificial intelligence, which includes LLMs, or large language models) can often tell us how it is, not how we'd like to see it. They expose biases. The classic example is of camera face detection not detecting black faces, or Google Photos classifying a black child as a gorilla. It's historical. Film processes were designed to properly expose white skin tones; esp. problematic in motion film.
AI also helps expose other, less obviously visible bias. Like this.
