When it comes to AI, there’s hype, there’s fear mongering, and then there’s reality.

Artificial Intelligence promises to change how we live and work, though it’s far from clear how much and how fast, what’s real and what’s ‘Sci-Fi’, or how it will be implemented to combat the bias inherent in historic training data so everyone can benefit from ethical innovation.

Today we dig deep into the true potential and vulnerabilities of AI, how to eliminate biases, the pace and limitations of innovation, and why diverse and women’s voices are vital to ensuring AI serves society best.

She shares the limitations of current technology, why small and high-quality contextual models have the most upside potential for a range of applications from travel to entertainment, plus the promise of Blockchain and decentralized approaches to solve for disinformation, content ownership and other AI risks. We also talk about what it means to be a woman innovating in technology, plus how VC must change to enable diverse founders, ethical use of AI and social impact, and the role entrepreneurs can play in ensuring fair regulation that advances business while protecting consumers.
