This afternoon I’ll be speaking at “Women of Influence: Meeting a New World” @VicCollege_UofT for a panel on Responsible AI, with @SheilaMcIlraith & @rhondamcewen
Fun fact: @VicCollege_UofT’s Women’s Association was established in 1897 to empower women to attend University. Not much younger than @Newnham_College, where I had fellowship @Cambridge_Uni!
