Episode 63: Emily Reid, CEOAI4All: "AI Will Change the World. Who Will Change AI?"

We’ve all have seen the emergence of AI in the last 8 years, where in this sector, the male voice still dominates:

A 2018 World Economic Forum report suggested that only 22% of AI professionals globally were female.

A 2019 AI Index Report found that 18% of authors at leading AI conferences were women.

LinkedIn data from 2018 indicated that 16% of AI professionals on the platform were women.

Only 12% of AI researchers are women globally, and only 2.6% of tenure-track engineering faculty identify as African American or Black and only 3.6% identify as Hispanic.

AI4ALL was co-founded by Fei-Fei Li, a distinguished computer scientist and professor at Stanford University, alongside her colleagues Olga Russakovsky and Rick Sommer. Fei-Fei Li is celebrated for her contributions to computer vision. Li led the development of ImageNet, a large-scale database of labeled images that has been crucial for advancing deep learning and computer vision technologies and served as Chief Scientist for Google Cloud.

The inspiration for AI4ALL came from the founders' awareness of the substantial gender and racial gaps in AI and STEM fields. They recognized the necessity to create opportunities for underrepresented groups to engage with and contribute to the field of AI.

If you go on their website – front and centre you will see, “AI will change the world”. Who will change AI?”

We welcome Emily Reid, CEO of AI4ALL who address the current concerns as AI rapidly materializes across our personal and professional lives and how AI4ALL is seeking to influence a more inclusive future.
