Mission
We aim to level the playing field for women and non-binary individuals by closing the technology-gap at work, and changing who defines & leads the conversation around innovative technology, starting with generative AI. Let’s FLIP THE SCRIPT.
Your Co-Founders
Our organization was born out of a shared vision to empower women, especially those in mid-careers and from non-technical backgrounds, to harness the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence (AI). We believe that AI offers a unique inflection point in technology, one that can help level the playing field in STEM fields, which are traditionally marked by a stark underrepresentation of women.
Program Leads
Our Program Leads are the heart and soul of Women Defining AI, embodying our core values and culture in everything they do. They are visionaries who lead critical initiatives throughout the year, bringing a unique blend of domain expertise, creativity, and dedication to their role.
Relentless in their pursuit of integrating AI into their everyday practice, Program Leads are not just advocates but active practitioners, inspiring the community to push boundaries, and ensure our programs deliver meaningful impact.
