At Women in Tech Sweden 2024, Anna will share her insights on ethics in AI, emphasising the importance of defining our humanity in the digital age.
In the tech world, we often refer to automation as the solution to human ‘messiness’. Humans are error prone, filled with biases, forgetful, often worse than algorithms at calculating things, and sometimes difficult to work with. But a key part of being human is our ‘messiness’. Our inner complexity pushes us to learn in relationship with our environment, find truths in context, grow, and improve things. We are consciously aware of being part of something bigger than ourselves and are able to combine morality with knowledge, applying contextual wisdom to our decision making. If we optimize away our messiness, we risk reducing dynamic quality and relinquishing our agency. This talk will dig into the nuance needed in the age of AI to understand where we should optimize for efficiency and where (messy) variety is valuable. This situational clarity can help us develop technology for the right things, in the right way.
Gissel Velarde will share her view on why artificial intelligence (AI) is such a relevant topic during this artificial era. She will briefly explain how AI works.

The stories about AI tend to be either overwhelming positive or cripplingly dystopian. But in between these two extremes, there are stories that are rarely told. The stories about how AI can make our everyday lives better, and us better as humans. If we want to. These are stories that aren’t written by the few white men who currently dictate the future of AI, but rather by everyone, and makes visible what it means to be human. With both wit and concern, Paulina Modlitba is here to show us how!

Linda will explain what it is and show you how it will transform your future.
