Rezopole, in partnership with Digital Campus Lyon, invites you to the 11th RezoGirls meeting on Tuesday 18th June at 6.30 pm.
During this new round table, several speakers will discuss the theme "The Rise of Artificial Intelligence: What are the risks for gender diversity? ». The debate will be followed by a cocktail reception.
In the introduction, let us quote Larousse, who defines Artificial Intelligence as "a set of theories and techniques implemented in order to produce machines capable of simulating human intelligence".
After a brief history of Artificial Intelligence, and some examples of dysfunction reproducing, amplifying, or even creating discrimination in their decisions, our speakers will debate based on their respective experiences and provide a relevant analysis of this phenomenon; the gender imbalance generated by the development of AI.
