This initiative is for women worldwide, from all walks of life, who are developing and using AI to make a difference. Whether working in healthcare, education, environmental conservation, or any other field, we want to hear their stories and celebrate their contributions
By showcasing women from diverse backgrounds and sectors who develop and use AI responsibly, while inviting and encouraging others to participate, we are seeking to build a global community dedicated to using AI for good. We also seek to counter male dominance in the tech world.
Honor women who have shown exceptional leadership and innovation in responsibly developing and utilizing AI for the common good.
The WSFR.AI Award highlights and recognizes the achievements of women across the globe who are pioneers in developing AI using responsible best practices, and in using AI responsibly for the common good.
By shining a spotlight on women who lead the way in establishing a responsible and ethical standard for AI development, and those who employ AI for societal benefit, we aim to inspire and empower others to follow suit, fostering a culture of responsible innovation and social impact within the AI community. We also aim to highlight the power of individual - and collective - agency in a world changed by AI
This initiative stands out as truly global, holistic, and transformative.
We are not just spotlighting women in AI from a handful of countries — we are celebrating trailblazers from every corner of the globe. Women making a difference in AI can be found everywhere, not just in the Western world, and we are here to recognize their contributions.
AI is not just a technical pursuit. Success in AI demands diverse perspectives and disciplines. By embracing this b roader view, we engage fully with AI's potential for good. We are uniting women from across fields - technical, legal, business and beyond, to showcase that AI thrives in a socio-technical context, not a technical vacuum
We are not just discussing any AI; we are focusing on "responsible AI for the common good." We reject the false choice between business success and doing good. AI can and must help tackle real-world issues like healthcare, education, and environmental conservation. By highlighting impactful work, we demonstrate what is possible when AI aligns with societal values and human - centric principles.
