Women in AI

Jade is a researcher with the Governance of Artificial Intelligence Program (GovAI) at the Future of Humanity Institute (University of Oxford). Her research focuses on the governance of emerging dual-use technologies, with a specific focus on firm-government relations in the US and China with respect to advanced artificial intelligence. Jade has a background in engineering, international law, and policy design and evaluation.

Mining and analyzing text helps organizations find valuable business insights in corporate data. Too often we find the common text mining techniques are not effective in many real-world corporate settings, in particular when dealing with short snippets, boilerplate text collected in forms and repeated text due to cut and paste authoring. Learn more from Yvonne Li on this week's episode of the podcast.

At the AI in Finance Summit in New York earlier this Autumn, Eunice caught up with one of our speakers, Peggy Tsai. Peggy is Vice President in the Analytics & Data department at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management and is responsible for leading the adoption of Data Governance standards and processes across Wealth Management. Hear what they had to discuss on the podcast.

On this week’s episode, Maithra, PhD Candidate and research scientist at Google Brain discusses her work in the science of Deep Learning. Eunice from the RE•WORK team chats with Maithra about the applications of her current work and how Google Brain are using neural networks in diagnostics, as well as to predict which instances are likely to give rise to maximal expert disagreement in healthcare.

On this week's episode of Women in AI, Sarah shares her most cutting-edge work in AI and healthcare, and delves into their 10-year plan to transform the NHS.

The constant progress of AI leaves society split - some fall into the bracket of excitement, and others are more wary. Whilst these technologies have the potential to transform all industries with a positive effect, we must consider the ramifications if they are not build securely, and with ethical considerations. Mariarosaria joins us to discuss her work in philosophy and ethics at the intersection of AI to share her work in ensuring AI is created with ethics as a priority.

The life insurance industry faces a number of challenges: long-term liabilities that can span decades, outdated legacy infrastructure that limits the potential for innovation, and strict regulations that protect consumers but make quick iteration very difficult. At Haven Life and MassMutual, Laura is using algorithms and machine learning models to streamline the customer experience for policy purchases.

Where am I, and where am I going, and where have I been before? Answering these questions requires cognitive navigation skills--fundamental skills which are employed by every intelligent biological species to find food, evade predators, and return home. On this week's episode of the Podcast, Raia Hadsell discusses her work at DeepMind.

On this week's episode of the podcast we catch up with Global Summit Creator, Ellie Lucy, to hear how she plans her agendas, sources global AI experts, and creates sessions focusing on the most cutting edge work in AI.

We are living in an exciting time where Machine Learning theory for common applications is maturing, open source tools are plenty, and computation is cheap. While this enables us to move faster than ever, it also makes it easy to throw latest technology at any given problem with little preparation. This can lead to overly complex solutions, suboptimal processes, and waste time. In this talk I’ll draw examples from real applications to show the necessity of spending time on defining the problem accurately before diving for solutions.

You only need to open a magazine to be faced with dieting tips and tricks to get in shape, and we’re bombarded with so much contradictory information on how to get the ‘perfect body’ that there’s no wonder it can be overwhelming. Hear from Laura Douglas, Co-Founder at MyLevels is working with her team to overcome this with AI.

Clothes shopping is some people’s idea of a relaxing afternoon well spend, whilst for others it’s a bit of a nightmare. On this episode I'm joined by Sowmiya Chocka Naraynan, Co-Founder and CTO of Lily AI, the first product to use deep emotional intelligence and AI in the commerce market to decode a woman’s emotional and perceptive needs to highlight or draw away from certain parts of the body to help you find the perfect outfit.

Georgia Gkioxari is a research scientist at Facebook AI Research (FAIR). She received a PhD in computer science and electrical engineering from the University of California at Berkeley under the supervision of Jitendra Malik in 2016. Learn about her career in AI as well as her current work.

Advances in robot navigation and fetch and delivery tasks rest to a large extent on robust, efficient and scalable semantic understanding of the surrounding environment. I’m joined today by Jana Kosecka from George Mason University and Google where she’s working on exactly this. Jana is using deep learning to fuel rapid progress in this area to help label data and analyse images, so I’m really excited to learn more about her work in robotics.

Having worked for the likes of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, founding Zyrobotics and chairing the Robotics PhD program at Georgia Tech, this week's discussion covers Ayanna Howard's current and upcoming work.
