“Now is the time for us all to learn
about AI and start embracing its advantages in a responsible and ethical way. That's where WAI plays an important role as members gain knowledge, build their network of peers, and contribute to the industry's diversification. Seeing more AI-empowered decision makers who are women is critical for the non-biased AI future.”
— Arti Nokhai,
Business Development Executive, IBM
