Women in Data Science Eindhoven 2023 | AI for the real world

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making a meteoric rise in our daily lives. The Women in Data Science Eindhoven conference explores the social impact of AI in general and the scientific influence of women on AI in particular. The 2023 edition, on March 27 at the High Tech Campus Eindhoven, will focus on ‘AI for the real world’, with an emphasis on medical technology, high-tech and mobility.

The program features leading speakers such as Dr. Tina Manoharan (VP, Global head of AI & Digital Innovation at Philips) and Dr. Ir. Sofie Haesaert (Assistant professor, electrical engineering department, Eindhoven University of Technology), who will give their views on AI for the real world. With these and other inspiring participants, Women in Data Science (WiDS) Eindhoven promises to be an inspiring conference. The location, in the heart of high-tech hotspot Brainport Eindhoven, is pre-eminently the place to bring data scientists and data practitioners together.

WiDS worldwide

WiDS Eindhoven is an independent conference. It coincides with the annual Global WiDS conference at Stanford University and has 200+ related venues worldwide. WiDS aims to inspire and educate students, professionals and academics (all genders) by sharing stories of women doing leading work in data science.

Diversity and inclusion

WiDS is about diversity and inclusion. About empowering people by appreciating what makes them different. This year we WiDS will focus on ‘AI for the real world.’ Dr. Tina Manoharan, VP, Global Head of AI & Digital Innovation – Philips and keynote speaker at WiDS Eindhoven 2023 explains: “AI is going to shape all of what we do but we must take our ethical responsibilities more seriously. Humans and AI form a symbiotic relationship: we shape AI, AI will augment us. We need to solve bias by making sure that women are contributing to the data and ensuring that the entire gender spectrum is represented in these technologies. It is important for developers to be aware of these biases at every stage of the development of AI and to be actively testing and checking for it.”
