Female leaders talk ethics, representation, and more at Transform 2020's Women in AI breakfast

At Transform's second annual Women in AI Breakfast presented by Capital One and Intel, powerful women from tech companies across the industry gathered to talk about how women, particularly women of color, can take their seats at the table in the technology industry. "Much has been written about the industry's pipeline problem, and how we can increase diversity in tech companies," said Carla Saavedra Kochalski, director of conversational AI and messaging products at Capital One who provided opening remarks. "Many say they don't hire women or people of color candidates because there aren't enough qualified candidates. And it's true -- there are fewer of women than men with computer science degrees." But what if that low number is more of a symptom, than a cause?
