The AI boom is here to stay, with many companies investing significant amounts of money into the technology. This has led to regulatory concerns, academic research, and competition among corporations. Startups have a great opportunity to apply new technology in various industries. However, the majority of individuals cited and discussed in the field of AI are men. To address this, TechCrunch’s Dominic-Madori Davis and Kyle Wiggers have been interviewing women working in AI to learn about their work and experiences in the industry.
So far, they have spoken with Irene Solaiman from Hugging Face, Sarah Kreps from Cornell University, and Heidy Khlaaf from Trail of Bits.
