Our Machines, Ourselves: Why Machine Learning Needs Diversity To Make The Best Products
Technology is a powerful platform upon which we can often see a reflection of our important cultural values and our boundless human spirit.
With the development and evolution of new computing paradigms like AR, VR and AI, we have the power to engage with technology in more meaningful ways.
While interfacing with our machines and they, in return, interfacing with us, we both gain the ability to learn and realise our potential.
As we build these important products of the future, it is more imperative than ever that we have strong, purposefully diverse teams, bringing new and challenging perspectives to the table in a effort to make our products better.
In this talk you’ll hear stories of opportunities missed and success achieved when diverse teams come together and make technological magic.
