Stories in AI

Inspiring action in Artificial Intelligence through powerful stories

Artificial Intelligence is a powerful technology that is changing the way we live, work and communicate. It has the potential to completely transform humanity for the better. But the work in AI is still concentrated in a few elite circles and that is problematic. For this technology to really contribute to elevating the human experience, we need more participation from everyone across the entire spectrum to use it, shape it, and contribute to it. With the Stories in AI series, we want to inspire more folks from beginners looking to get started, to practitioners looking to solve for roadblocks and experts looking for ideas to scale their AI efforts. We will explore various facets of the technology and its impact from a variety of experts and practitioners through their stories, work and experiences.
