AI Is Changing Everything | Why Women Can’t Be Left Out | Sarah Bird | Women in AI Ethics

Описание: Microsoft New York City proudly welcomes a powerful gathering of women and allies in AI ethics, highlighting the critical role women play in shaping the future of responsible and ethical artificial intelligence.

In this opening address, Microsoft leaders discuss why New York City is a vital hub for AI research, engineering, and policy, with over 1,800 engineers and researchers based in the city. The talk emphasizes that AI ethics is not new at Microsoft—beginning with the pioneering FATE (Fairness, Accountability, Transparency, and Ethics) research group, founded in NYC.

This session explores Microsoft’s three-pillar approach to Responsible AI:

Research – anticipating risks and long-term impacts of AI

Policy & Governance – setting internal standards and shaping global norms

Engineering – embedding responsible AI practices directly into products

Speakers highlight the importance of women’s participation not only to ensure AI systems work for everyone, but also to ensure women benefit from the economic, entrepreneurial, and innovation opportunities AI creates.

The message is clear:
If women are not at the table, they risk being left behind—economically, socially, and technologically.

This event reflects Microsoft’s commitment to:

Responsible AI at scale

Community engagement in NYC and beyond

Building global ecosystems for ethical technology

Supporting women leaders in AI ethics, policy, and engineering

Microsoft also encourages attendees and viewers to connect, collaborate, and explore career opportunities in Responsible AI.
