"AI & Datascience Bootcamp 4 Women & Minorities" is not just a capacity development initiative. It was a labour of love, passion and commitment to the cause of empowering women, changing the system and striving towards a gender equal world! ❓What is it? A hybrid training program specifically recognising the barriers women face in the tech field and supporting them to overcome these obstacles. The intent and priority are to upskill women irrespective of their academic background or coding knowledge. The core idea: anyone can learn Data Science and AI. 🔥The standout component of the Bootcamp are the capstone projects that are developed by these amazing participants to demonstrate their skills. WOW!! #RunCodeLikeABoss When Luisa Olaya, my co-conspirator came to me with the initial idea, we knew it would be something special. We crafted, moulded & were intentional about the program we created - which can be adapted to any country ecosystem, and for different cohorts (youth, professionals, young mothers, C-suite, LGBTQIA+, etc.) We gave our all to pilot, which turned out to be am amazing success with a committed partner Intel Corporation who have been with us on this journey. The South Africa pilot, led by our passionate service provider at Move Beyond Consulting also made this a success. Each iteration sees us taking learnings & knowledge & refining the program. It has now scaled to Ghana & Rwanda, with Uganda underway and Indonesia to follow next year, and a mini component in Equador. There enable the countries in which FAIR Forward project does not operate but which have Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH (GIZ) offices, we are crafting a fully open source training to empower those projects & teams to conduct this themselves, for their ecosystems. This is how we create impact. 📖Have a read about our program & the journey we took. Shout out to Mary Seiwah Afram Mugenzi Kelia for being amazing co-conspirators in Ghana & Rwanda. 🚨 we are currently working with an amazing team of women Limina Education Services to bring convert this knowledge into an opensource E-Learning MOOC that will be available on National Electronic Media Institute of South Africa as well as atingi.org for everyone to benefit. ➡️ Anyone, anywhere can learn AI & Data Science 🙌🏽 #Bootcamp #AI #datascience #capacitydevelopment #southafrica #ghana #uganda #indonesia #rwanda #giz #development #bootcamp #women #youth #empower Antoinette Young Shari Joseph Isabel Tarling Luisa Olaya Mary Seiwah Afram Mugenzi Kelia Daniel Brumund Meena Lysko Blossom Academy digital.global University of South Africa/Universiteit van Suid-Afrika Julia Schappert Balthas Seibold Kathleen Ziemann Ruth Schmidt, PhD Dr Nick Bradshaw South African AI Association Angela Shumba Debra Mmabatho SETSIBA Mlindi Mashologu M.

🎉 We are very pleased to announce that our paper, "Decoding Online Hate in the United States: A BERT-CNN Analysis of 36 Million Tweets from 2020 to 2022," co-authored with Shasank Sekhar Pandey and Mahboobeh Zangiabady, has been accepted for presentation at The 12th IEEE International Workshop on Semantic Computing for Social Networks and Organization Sciences. This study addresses the complex and pressing issue of online hate speech, which has surged in recent years, particularly during the significant events of 2020-2022. By collecting and analyzing 36 million tweets from the United States through a BERT-based Convolutional Neural Network (BERT-CNN), we focused on classifying instances of hate speech, finding as relevant classes ethnicity, gender, and nationality. Our collaborative effort aims to contribute to a nuanced understanding of online hate speech's nature and scope during these critical years. As we prepare to present our findings, we hope to spark further discussion and encourage continued research, ultimately leading to more effective strategies for addressing this pervasive issue. #OnlineHateSpeech #SemanticComputing #IEEE #BERTCNN #SocialMediaResearch #SCSN2024 #ICSC2024

Delighted to attend the #APPG on #AI "Navigating #DisInformation and #DeepFakes - safeguarding democratic processes and responsible AI #innovation" for the ➡️ AI4C (AI for Charities) community in the UK House of Lords Excellent evidence session, discussion and demonstration (unnerving at times) with ✅ Carl Miller Centre for Analysis of Social Media Demos, ✅ Sophie Murphy Byrne, Logically ✅ Aled Lloyd Owen, Onfido ✅ Prof. Gina Neff, Ph.D. Centre for Technology & Democracy Univ of Cambridge and ✅ Markus Anderljung, Governance of AI excellently chaired by ✅Stephen Metcalfe MP and ✅ Lord Tim Clement-Jones organised and thanks to Big Innovation Centre Professor Birgitte Andersen Top takeaways/reinforcements for me :- 1️⃣ Addressing mis/disinformation issues is vital to democracy/trust. ➡️ To address is hard and requires smart leadership/thinking plus relentless application to stay ahead of bad actors 2️⃣ Fakes will keep getting better and can be deployed at ever increasing scale (what took 400 people in 2016/17 can be done with $1000 now) 3️⃣ Significant threats come from :- ⚠️ concerted campaigns to exploit & confirm people's cognitive biases - to have world views confirmed. "Weaponisation of friendship" ⚠️ Flooding the zone ... ⚠️ Concerted attacks on Women, Minorities .... 4️⃣ Not surprisingly there is no one single (silver bullet) solution. What can help ? ✅ Leadership with a learning/growth mindset ✅ Factchecking ✅ Technology - (metadata) tag into the content so they cannot be easily stripped and absence would be cause for concern; digital watermarking; synthetic data to train models ✅ Guardrails ✅ Responsible organisations adhering to a code of conduct ✅ Supportive and relatable public awareness/education - bad actors that are trying to get to you and we all have a part to play #APPGAI #DeepFakeThreats #DisinformationChallenge #ElectionSecurity #DemocracyProtection #InnovationDefense #CollaborativeAction #TechResponsibility #CitizenEngagement #GovernmentAction #BigInnovationCentre #AI #artificialintelligence

By 2023, over 120 zettabytes of data had been collected worldwide, but less than 1% of it is actually used! 🌐💻 Institutions struggle to process structured data to support important decisions, causing them to fall behind large corporations. Madelon Hulsebos, a tenure-track researcher joining CWI's Database Architectures group this fall, aims to empower people to make independent decisions based on structured data. She does this through the 5-year DataLibra project, for which she received an NGF AiNed Fellowship grant from NWO (Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek). Congratulations! 🎉 To democratize insights from structured data, Hulsebos aims to improve current AI techniques. Artificial intelligence is effective at analyzing unstructured data, but less so in structured data applications. To address this, she is exploring Table Representation Learning.
