International Women's Day

As I prepare for the Amplifying Her Voice event on International Women's Day hosted by The State of Women Institute (its a three day event! Register here), I wish I could be more excited about celebrating the progress of women in my field, but given my field is AI, Machine Learning and Data Science, my outlook on gender parity in the world as it is today is disappointingly unsatisfied. I can imagine a world where women's participation in AI fields is so normal that discussing gender parity is an afterthought. A world where there are so many examples of women (ALL women!) in technical and leadership roles that none of us feel like imposters. A world where we are celebrated and included in AI decisions, designs and policy improvements.
