What would the world's first computer programmer do about bias in AI?

The 11th of October marks Ada Lovelace Day, a special moment in the annual tech calendar. It's an International Day of Recognition that celebrates women in STEM, named after the woman widely recognised as the world's first computer programmer. So immense was Ada Lovelace's contribution in a short life -- she died of illness in 1842 at age 36 -- that her notes provided inspiration for Alan Turing's work on the first modern computers in the 1940s. Ada Lovelace Day provides an opportunity to reflect. Our minds have travelled back not as far as the 1800s but to May this year when we hosted a panel at the Girls in Tech Australia Conference.
