Week 7: Women in AI


Week 7: Women in AI 

There is a significant imbalance of men to ratio in the AI research field. Males tend to dominate these roles but there are still women out there putting in the work. This includes Fei-Fei Li, Corinna Cortes, Rana el Kalioub, Kate Crawford, Rumman Chowdhury, and Anima Anandkumar. These women have all been very active and influential in areas of AI. 

Fei-Fei Li is a computer scientist that once worked for Google. She established ImagineNet and is the co-director of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI. Corinna Cortes is a Danish computer scientist and is currently a Vice President at Google Research in New York City. Rana el Kaliouby is a pioneer in the field of affective computing and the co-founder of Affectiva, an AI company specializing in emotion recognition technology. Kate Crawford expert in the social implications of AI and co-founder of the AI Now Institute, a research center dedicated to studying the societal impacts of AI.

Rumman Chowdhury is a leading advocate for ethical and responsible AI. Anima Anandkumar is a leading researcher in machine learning and artificial intelligence, known for her work in tensor algorithms and applications in AI. All of these women have been vital individuals during this rise of AI. It is important women keep getting involved in tech careers. Hopefully we can promote and encourage young women to get into these careers so we can see more powerful women in AI in the future.

Such as gluten free bread, Ezekiel bread and specialty cakes. These items can not be found in stores so people turn to local bakeries.  It is obvious why artificial intelligence engineers are in much higher demand and that is because AI has become more popular. AI is also being implemented in more and more jobs so it is crucial there are people who know what to do with the AI. The need for this position will continue to rise.  Artificial Intelligence can actually be used in the baking process. In baking it is very important that all your measurements are exact.
