Advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning are driving dramatic shifts in technology and how we engage with the world. Join us this Ada Lovelace Day to hear about where we currently stand with understanding bias in AI, and discuss how we can all make a difference with our panel of experts. 

Ada Lovelace Day falls between 11-13 October each year. It highlights the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

Ada Lovelace was the world’s first computer programmer, she began algorithm development back in the mid-nineteenth century. That’s over 150 years ago! This is especially remarkable because the first computer, Charles Babbage’s mechanical ‘Analytical Engine’, was still unfinished at the time.
