Humanitarian AI Today's host Mia Kossiavelou speaks with Sameer Maskey Adjunct Associate Professor at Columbia University and Founder of Fusemachines, an AI solutions & services provider empowering everyone to leverage AI by running schools in underserved communities and connecting talent with job opportunities.

If female-run startups outperform male-run startups, why is there a massive disparity in funding? What cultural changes need to take place in order to increase women in STEM careers? How can men be allies to women in tech? In this episode of IBM thinkLeaders podcast, we are joined by guests Rachel Renock (CEO of Wethos) & Preeti Adhikary (VP of marketing, Fusemachines). We talk to Rachel and Preeti about the importance of mentorship, the responsibility of marketers to flip the script, and making gender equity a business priority. Connect with us @IBMthinkLeaders + the guests at: @rachren1 @wethosco @PreetiAdhikary “It's one thing to put women in positions of power, open doors of opportunity. It's another thing to have those places be welcoming. People have to be cognizant of different working styles and different strengths and weaknesses and that ultimately makes a stronger team.” -Rachel Renock, CEO of Wethos “One of my big consistent advice to the women on my team is that they need to be authentic. Being able to share, even with your team who you are is really important. I feel like you shouldn't really be carrying that mask and showing people a very different side of who you are.” -Preeti Adhikary, VP of marketing at Fusemachines

How can we demystify AI? Why is the general public often both awed and afraid of artificial intelligence? Why is there a gulf between the excitement from enterprise to utilize AI and trepidation from the public? In this episode of thinkPod, we are joined by Sameer Maskey (Founder & CEO of Fusemachines) and Charlie Oliver (Founder & CEO of Tech2025). We talk to Sameer and Charlie about increasing the accessibility of AI, the importance of ethics and how that can be determined, and how talent is evenly distributed by opportunity is not. We explore algorithmic bias, our complicated feelings towards AI, the importance of gathering insight into how the general public is feeling about emerging technology, and why you may want to take a MOOC right now. “Within AI, there's such a variety of work that needs to be done. There is obviously the building of AI Systems and that's where a lot of conversation gets focused on. What we lose sight of [is] all the different parts of AI from ethics to...all the questions around culture, and there's so many other things that could make AI much more accessible to other human beings and make it more conducive to people.” -Sameer Maskey “[D]on't believe what they tell you about what you know and don't know. Because we've been talked down to about technologies for so long, especially women, especially people of color...You know more than you think you know in your ideas are really necessary right now.”-Charlie Oliver Connect with thinkLeaders and our panelists: @IBMthinkLeaders @sameermaskey @itscomplicated BIOS CHARLIE OLIVER In the Fall of 2016, Charlie Oliver launched Tech2025 to educate entrepreneurs and consumers on the next wave of disruptive, emerging technologies that are expected to drastically change our world in the next decade (AI, machine learning, driverless vehicles, IoT, blockchain, VR, etc.), through live-events and interactive workshops with industry experts.
