- Tara Chklovski, CEO of Technovation, is encouraging young women to become leaders in the field of artificial intelligence and see themselves as integral to the technology reshaping the world.
- Technovation partners with schools and other nonprofits to provide STEM curriculum and hosts the world’s largest free tech entrepreneurship competition for young women up to age 18.
- The gatherings led by Chklovski focus on creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for women in tech and AI.
- Globally, women comprise only about 22% of the artificial intelligence workforce, which Chklovski believes could lead to algorithms and systems shaping daily life that reinforce existing inequalities.
- Chklovski’s message emphasizes the importance of women in tech to help design and control the technological revolution of AI.
- Technovation aims to build confidence, foster community support, and inspire the next generation of women to shape the future of artificial intelligence.
