When you speak of AI today, most people think of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Sora and the sleuth of diverse tools at our disposal that seem to weave magic through words, images and even videos.

Last month, Google hosted AI Connect, an event that brought AI experts, enthusiasts, and academics together to explore the impact and future of artificial intelligence. Representing Women in AI (WAI), we joined to deepen our understanding of AI’s evolution, particularly within the Dutch landscape, and to advocate for a more inclusive, diverse AI industry.

The most recent Women in AI Circle event in Den Haag buzzed with conversation on a topic both timely and complex: navigating the ever-shifting landscape of AI within the realm of government. The event featured Elja Daae, Data, AI & Algorithms Coordinator at the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, and Monika Milanović, Legal Policy Officer at the same ministry.

Women in AI at TNW Conference - VivienneMing

“How often is AI detecting an early stage of cancer and saving someone’s life? And how often is it used to generate useless images?” Theoretical neuroscientist and AI expert Dr. Vivienne Ming believes that a lot of technology today is built with the idea of being shallow. Technology can be part of creating a better world. During TNW Conference we tried to find if and how AI can be used for the greater good.

During our Rotterdam Circle event we had the pleasure of hearing from two influential voices in the field of data ethics and technology: Piek Knijff, a philosopher and data ethicist, and Anita de Waard, a renowned researcher and academic.
