Women in Tech Regatta 2020 Virtual - Amsterdam/EMEA edition

How do you prepare kids and adults for our world of constant and rapid technological innovation? What education, training and exposure to technology do we need to survive and thrive? There is no standard answer. In today's world, education comes in many flavours: from school curriculum to extracurricular activities, the stories we tell children, and the things we teach ourselves in our free time. During this panel, we'll hear from a selection of people who represent the different flavours to tech education and and prove there are many ways to tech if you just start.

Artificial intelligence is often billed as the answer to debiasing decision making. Human biases are deeply anchored, most often unnoticed, and reflected in the behaviour that generates data. AI can amplify these biases and patterns, and in some cases even expand the problems in new ways. At best, AI might be able to introduce some degree of objectivity; but to do so, the people writing the code must be aware of and wrestle with biases. This panel discusses strategies and methodologies for navigating these challenges.
