Top Women in AI: encouraging more women in the field w/ Lili Gil Valletta & Amanda Stent
Description
How can we increase the number of women in AI? What is the role of successful women in AI to provide future opportunities? How should businesses be adjusting?
In this episode of IBM thinkLeaders podcast, we are joined by guests Lili Gil Valletta (Co-Founder and CEO, CIEN+ and Culturintel) & Amanda Stent (Natural Language Processing Architect in the Office of the CTO at Bloomberg).
