VentureBeat is gearing up for its flagship event, VB Transform, which will take place from July 9-11 in San Francisco. This premier three-day event will bring together industry experts and peers to provide comprehensive insights and best practices on enterprise data journeys, with a particular focus on AI. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from case studies and forge meaningful connections with leaders in the field.
As part of VB Transform, VentureBeat will be honoring women leaders and changemakers in AI through the Women in AI Awards. The winners will be announced during a special program on the main stage of Transform on July 10. The award categories include Responsibility and Ethics of AI, AI Entrepreneurship, AI Research, AI Mentorship, and Rising Star.
The nominees for these awards were chosen by the public, and winners were selected by a VentureBeat committee. The selection criteria emphasized the nominees’ commitment to the industry, their efforts to increase inclusivity in the field, and their positive influence on the community.
Gina Joseph, Chief Strategy Officer at VentureBeat, expressed the importance of recognizing women leaders in tech. She emphasized the need for diverse teams to build, test, and use AI in order to create a more fair and ethical output. Investing in women in AI not only leads to more valuable AI that better suits audiences but also boosts ROI for companies.
The Women in AI Awards will honor women who have made significant contributions in various areas of AI. These include starting companies showing promise in AI, mentoring other women in the field, making impactful research contributions, and leading in responsible AI practices.
The awards serve as a platform to highlight the achievements of women in AI and encourage more women to enter the field. By recognizing and celebrating these women’s accomplishments, VentureBeat aims to make a positive impact on the future of AI and the people behind it.
VentureBeat extends its congratulations to all the women who were nominated for the Women in AI Awards. The event would not be possible without the valuable contributions of community partners such as Women in Data, Women in Big Data, Women in Voice, and Firstboard.io, who showcase the talented women working in tech.
