Getting Girls Into the Artificial Intelligence Pipeline

The term artificial intelligence (AI) was coined 64 years ago at a scholarly conference. The AI field hasn't remained the theoretical province of computer scientists and mathematicians; it now is a pervasive part of everyday life. With a technology this powerful, it is critical to include the perspectives of all women, including those from underrepresented communities. AI applications -- based on algorithms -- are found in robotics, machine learning, natural language processing, machine vision, speech recognition and more. These applications are found in homes, vehicles and myriad other aspects of daily life.
