WiM announces webinar in the Health Equity in the AI Era Webinar Series

Women in MICCAI will hold the first webinar, "Health Equity in the AI Era: A Humanistic Approach to Fair and Equitable Medical AI", on June 20. In this webinar, AI ethicist Dr. Kerry McInerney will give us an invited talk: "The Good Robot: Why Technology Needs Feminism". 

Dr. Kerry McInerney (co-editor of The Good Robot: Why Technology Needs Feminism and Feminist AI: Critical Perspectives on AI, Algorithms, And Intelligent Machines) will explore how feminist theory, scholarship and activism can transform our approach to AI and machine learning. She explores the plurality of feminisms at work in AI, how to thread the needle between technopessimism and techno-optimism, and why AI ethics is always about power. 

Join us on Thursday, June 20, 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM UTC / 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM PDT / 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT.

Registration (required) is free and open to anyone.
