Dr Catriona Wallace explores the intersection between artificial intelligence and minority groups, including women. She recognizes the need for women to break into traditionally male-dominated spaces such as artificial intelligence, and the AI economic growth in the tech world.

She discusses how the inclusion of women and minorities can reduce biases in data sets, and recalibrate the scales of industry.

Lisa McInnes-Smith explores bias in the community and proposes that we explore the biases we speak in everyday language and the stereotypes we attach to gender. Her conversation challenges us to transform our thinking by identifying where the problems are. Lisa's specialty is to demonstrate with reason, humour, and real-life examples how to make people feel included and break the biases around you.

Artificial Intelligence is regarded as the most powerful transformation to affect business and society since the invention of electricity - and is now in reach of the Board and Executive team.

The saying goes that mediocrity is the enemy of greatness, that by settling for good enough we never achieve our full potential.
