Operating at the boundaries: diversity of perspective (Alice Breeden, Diana Biggs & Gina Neff) + Q&A

We've all heard of 'diversity' but what does it mean in practice? How can teams in business and research use the idea of diversity to produce better results? Currently only about 12-15% of the engineers who are building the internet and its software are women. As AI and Machine Learning is based on the data you feed it and how you design it, we are at risk of exacerbating existing biases if we do not ensure that diverse data sets are included from design In this event, experts in the field of science and philosophy will come together to explore the theme of diversity of perspective covering diversity of people, data, models and mindset. We will use the fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning to show the increasing complexity and relevance of having a diverse outlook.
