Description
While the gender gap in data is not always life threatening, the design and use of artificial intelligence models in different industries can significantly disadvantage women’s lives. And while there is agreement that lots of good data can indeed help close gender gaps, there remain concerns that if the “right” questions are not being asked in the data collection process (including by women), gender gaps can actually widen when algorithms are misinformed. This not only has negative impacts on women, but also on business and economies.
In roundtable discussions, this breakfast explores measures aimed at ensuring that the use of AI systems does not lead to discrimination, how women litigators can be thought leaders in this field and how legal tech can drive diversity, efficiency, and winning.
It is open to all; litigators of all genders are warmly invited to participate and debate.
