A new program, 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗔.𝗜., supported by Cornell Tech, M.I.T., and U.C.L.A., aims to empower lower-income, Latina, and Black female computing majors for careers in artificial intelligence by providing learning opportunities, industry connections, and research projects. Details: - ⭐ The program offers young women intensive classes in A.I., practical projects like creating health prediction models, and mentorship for technical job interviews. - 🌟 Break Through Tech focuses on reducing obstacles for underrepresented college students, offering free A.I. programs to students from public and minority-serving institutions. - 🌺 Participants engage in machine learning basics, work on A.I. challenges from employers like Google, and develop models for real-world applications like plant specimen identification. - 🎓 The program has successfully placed a high percentage of students in paid tech internships, providing crucial career opportunities and industry recognition. - 🔍 Students are encouraged to explore A.I. bias, ethical considerations, and potential risks, fostering a deeper understanding of the societal impact of A.I. technologies. I'd love to bring initiatives like that to Brazil! https://lnkd.in/db2mZqnE

I like some early adoption as much as the next millennial. But the opt-in by default strategy of AI features is freakin out of control. I can appreciate that many tech vendors are offering the capability with privacy and trust as first-class considerations. Many more haven’t even a Trust page to speak of. But the decision of whether or not to use AI-enabled features should absolutely remain with businesses and individual consumers assuming the risk of its adoption, not the product managers or GMs of platform vendors who are KPI’d on product uptake. Everyone’s haste to shove AI down our collective throats is creating a 💩-tonne of policy and due diligence work that has to be done reactively instead of thoughtfully, every time a new feature is released, on every platform we use. My ask is a simple, earnest one. Can you not?
