What you will learn
During her presentation, Robin reflects back to 2020, the year in which she personally experienced how decisions made by an algorithm can have a negative impact on people's daily lives. She shares her vision on how AI can be used in a socially responsible manner and discusses how as a society, we can work towards a more just technological future. Robin identifies as an intersectional feminist and therefore also focuses on the opportunities and possibilities available to women in tech, raising awareness about how the underrepresentation of women in the tech industry can result in algorithms making harmful decisions.
