Fem.AI: How We Can Utilize NOW to Ensure a Future of Equity in Tech with Nicole Johnson
On this week’s episode of our Responsible AI series, Marie Wiese is joined by Nicole Johnson, the Global Director of Social Impact at Cadence Design Systems! During the episode, they discuss the FEM AI initiative aimed at empowering women in the AI workforce. Tune in to hear Nicole's insights on the importance of inclusivity in AI development, and the need for a rebranding of the tech industry to attract more women.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
💡Nicole highlights the three major leakage points — STEM degree completion, accessing first jobs, and retention.
💡AI presents a huge opportunity to rebrand tech and attract more women into the field, but we need to build with people, not just for them, to create real change.
💡Marie & Nicole discuss how the level of engagement at the summit was inspiring! With partnerships from nonprofits and organizations alike, we’re confident the FEM AI initiative will only continue to grow and evolve over the next year.
