This workshop is only open to women based in BC, Canada
What is AI and why does it need you?
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to reshape virtually every industry, the workforce and, ultimately, the entire economy. The rapid evolution of AI brings new buzzwords – machine learning, deep learning, neural networks – and many questions about how best to understand and implement these new technologies.
This half-day workshop is designed to provide you with an introduction to artificial intelligence – its terms, tools and solutions – and the importance of women and underrepresented groups being included in this new era of big data and machine learning.
Bethany Edmunds, Director of Computer Science at Northeastern University’s Vancouver Campus will help you understand what AI is and the potential it offers while examining the unique challenges and opportunities it brings. You’ll also gain a better understanding of the importance of having members of diverse backgrounds shape AI strategies and solutions to ensure a more inclusive future for all of us.
This workshop has a $500 value but is FREE for those that identify as a woman and are based in British Columbia, Canada. This is thanks to a scholarship through Athena Pathways that aims to encourage more women in BC to explore a career in AI or data science. There is a limited number of scholarships available, so sign up early to secure a spot. Athena will verify eligibility so please do not register if you do not meet the criteria above.
