Her Future Summit To Explore AI And The Future Of Work For Women Leaders Posted on : Mar 28 - 2020

On March 31st the Her Future Summit powered by the Global Startup Ecosystem will take place virtually with 1000+ digital delegates. This will be the largest virtual summit for women to date featuring digital stakeholders from over 60+ countries.

The Her Future Summit aims to identify, train, and empower the next generation of female pioneers. The summit also serves to teach fundamentals of future technology and the leading social impact applications of Artificial Intelligence, among other technologies.

Her Future Summit was scheduled to take place in 7 global cities - DC, Silicon Valley, New York, Accra, Port-au-Prince, London, and Dubai - throughout the month of March.

Due to the outbreak of the CoronaVirus, and concerns around safety for our delegates and stakeholders who are flying in from around the world in these target cities, GSE will now bring all seven cities online with a universal Virtual Summit on March 31st. This change will also provide more accessibility to stay-at-home mothers, participants with limited mobility, and women in areas that were not previously selected for a program launch.

The impressive list of speakers announced for the program represent the most innovative organizations from different industry sectors.

The list includes a keynote from X. Eyeé, Global Outreach Lead for Responsible Innovation at Google AI on the topic of Fairness in Machine Learning. According to Google AI’s website, their principles include being socially beneficial and avoiding creating or reinforcing unfair bias. Xyeé is expected to elaborate on these points during her keynote, and specifically speak to the challenges and opportunities of fairness with regards to Machine Learning.

Another session during the event to look forward to is the Hanson Robotics Panel which will focus on the question, Why Invest in AI?

The panel includes David Chen, Board Member and CFO at Hanson Robotics, Founding Partner of AngelVest Fund, and Director of Harvard Business School Alumni Angels, and of course Sophia the world's first robot celebrity and Hanson Robotics’ most advanced human-like robot.

Regarding AI and the Future of Work, two sessions to attend include “How to Build Your Personal Brand in the Digital Age” presented by Global Startup Ecosystem CMO Christine Ntim, as well as “The Future of Work and LinkedIn's Economic Graph” presented by Ty Heath, Global Lead at LinkedIn’s B2B Institute.
