How can we harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) as a force for global good?

Dr. Reema Diab – the first female Jordanian global ambassador for artificial intelligence, an international keynote speaker, Founder and CEO of Galaxy for Technology, and a TechWomen ExchangeAlumni – joined us on our latest episode of MentorTalks to discuss the answer, and broke down some misconceptions about AI along the way.

 

"AI is important in everything we do now," Reema said, noting that increased involvement by women in AI will increase gender equity and cross-cultural collaboration, while reducing global waste and supporting vulnerable populations - the same things Reema is doing through her non-governmental organization, Galaxy for Technology.

 

Reema credits much of where she is now to her TechWomen exchange experience. "You have to do it," she advised. In addition to providing her with the skills needed to grow her own business, Reema found a network of like-minded women through the TechWomen program - women with whom she can work to solve similar challenges and obstacles facing one another across different countries.
