This collaboration will increase diversity in the AI tech space where women have been historically excluded. The Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence (FCAI) and Women in AI Ethics (WAIE) have announced their partnership to increase diversity and ethics in AI. Both organizations focus on empowering people to solve real-life problems through AI that's designed and deployed in an ethical and trustworthy manner. This alliance will increase representation of diverse voices from the Nordic region in the WAIE directory, an online resource to help recruiters and event organizers find diverse talent, and open up opportunities for these talented women to be recognized through WAIE's highly regarded annual "100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics" list. This international collaboration will include co-hosting of educational workshops by diverse leaders in the AI ethics space, offering a critical lens for real-world solutions. It will also provide a virtuous cycle of mentorship opportunities for FCAI's faculty as well as students and WAIE's rich network of women as well as non-binary folks who are in all stages of their AI ethics careers to inspire others from marginalized communities to join this important space.
