ABOUT THIS EVENT

Bridging the Gender Gap in AI 

It is a simple truth: the field of artificial intelligence is far too male-dominated. According to a recent research by the World Economic Forum and LinkedIn, only 22% of jobs in artificial intelligence are held by women, with even fewer holding senior roles. 

Artificial intelligence will reshape every corner of our lives in the coming years—from healthcare to finance, from education to government. It is therefore troubling that those building this technology do not fully represent the society they are poised to transform. 

“In order to get a more diverse workforce in AI, we need to increase the pipeline, hire more women and minorities into AI positions and create an environment that gives them opportunities to thrive so that we can retain them,” offered Jennifer Chayes, Managing Director of Microsoft Research New England, NYC and Montreal. Technology could benefit or hurt people, so the usage of tech is the responsibility of humanity as a whole. 

The training is sponsored by Microsoft and is free of charge for Women who want to certify and work in the field of AI, the exam fee of 15 USD will be reimbursed upon successfully passing the exam.

Complimentary Registration for Women Data Scientist

This course introduces fundamentals concepts related to artificial intelligence (AI), and the services in Microsoft Azure that can be used to create AI solutions. The course is not designed to teach students to become professional data scientists or software developers, but rather to build awareness of common AI workloads and the ability to identify Azure services to support them. The course is designed as a blended learning experience that combines instructor-led training with online materials on the Microsoft Learn platform (https://azure.com/learn). The hands-on exercises in the course are based on Learn modules, and students are encouraged to use the content on Learn as reference materials to reinforce what they learn in the class and to explore topics in more depth.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) concepts and related Microsoft Azure services is useful. This training is intended for candidates with both technical and non-technical backgrounds. 

Key Benefits of AI-900 Certification
