Il contributo delle donne all’intelligenza artificiale (AI). | Darya Majidi | TEDxBolognaWomen


[Music]
the contribution of women has
artificial intelligence I see
lots of women, lots of girls
young and I really hope that today
we share an idea we can trust
of artificial intelligence there
we hear so much but we can
to trust does not have a weapon too powerful that
sooner or later it can have consequences
negative
we use systems every day
algorithms that already rely on the
yes programs of intelligence
artificial
we use these software to search
news information about our health
on the health of our loved ones on the
politics on the economy we trust
when we do some research with
google we trust and we rely on
we are doing this well
sure I made two examples from
share with you
I looked for the simple woman word
you can do it quietly too
I look for the word woman is the first one
answer that google mida are only
white women my knowledge
staff tells me there is something that does not
it goes
we are almost 8 billion all are missing
women of color Asian women
women with disabilities all white
then geo this first example that
you can safely do on your own
cell phones makes think that the answer that
google is giving us some byas
second example word admin
delegate I am an administrator
delegate and when I go to look for tro
I’m looking for women looking for people of both
sexes all males all white mine
personal knowledge tells me aldo there
something wrong but how many times
when we look we do not have this
awareness of knowing what
we are looking for and there is an asymmetry
information between us and these giants that
causes us to almost be forced to
believe in what they tell us to
example that we have seen of google is
well known google has already been accused of
fact that its algorithm is if it is
because in fact with the word alla
search for the word shows up
only 11 percent of figures
female against a 36 percent that is
the real data
the example of amazon is even more
worrying
amazon has made an algorithm for itself
itself and to look for the curricula of the
competent people looked for figures
professional haiti competent and
the algorithm that had the same bay of
fact has discarded the curricula of the
women if these giants know that
we observe them allow themselves to have
those buyers imagine what is there
in others in other answers that
we receive but because we must understand this
how artificial intelligence works
while in the traditional algorithms it is
the man who inserts the rules inside
the algorithm then tells him if you see
this input give me this output in the
case of artificial intelligence yes
says that the algorithm learns learns in
based on the data that sees then if I the
I give all data with de bahia if inside
or I give them partial data not
neutral and clear that this algorithm me
simply replies what I have
taught
who is who today writes the code
big surprise
computer science and but in males only
14 percent of women in Italy
I’m in the world of computing and of
these 14 percent very few today
they are working on intelligence
artificial but study now tell us
that technology is not neutral that the
software written by a male is
different from suffers written by one
so it’s clear that we are there
we bring in these new systems
buyers prejudices stereotypes that
will affect our life at
problem of comedians
my friends is our problem
because these systems of fact
they will decide everything will decide if the
our girls can have a tomorrow
a mortgage
suppose that in the rhythm beat chan bay
sexist for which he decides that women do not
they are married under 30
nothing will change the algorithm and they will decide
the behavior of the cleaning robots that
they will worry about us and happy has a
buy often has bay we carry it behind
suppose a military drone must
go and shoot at a target e
he realizes that he sees the camera
that there is nothing in the target
military but they are only women and
what children do shoots the same is the
What most of all to my heart
because of the work I do the
creation of drugs and personal care
from medicine the medicine is going towards
what is called the evidence
space doctors so everything will be based
much on the data
but if the data we collect and give
these algorithms have buyers of
genre these algorithms for women do not
they will work we have already said with the
my colleagues are often sunny
we are alone in these tables but we must
occur
there must be in quantity therefore never
more women alone but above all we need to
make sure that women can decide
which artificial intelligence such as
knowledge what algorithms we go to
put in these systems
I left with a provocation there
we can trust
I love artificial intelligences I myself
I graduated artificial intelligence
25 years ago the first works that we
we helped neurologists ad
example to make the diagnosis the
image segmentation la
genome segmentation
I love artificial intelligence but ma
also to the female contribution
absolutely and above all
artificial intelligence so much
powerful that as having discovered again
an atomic bomb we have to regulate it
we must give him the rules of the buyers
positives of barriers because a weapon
very powerful is so powerful that there
I tell who with the personal episode
a few years ago with a group of women
we started working on the
image segmentation of
Magnetic resonance at the breast the goal
was to recognize injuries
of tumors to say to these
images when the human eye still
he did not see them as beautiful
collaboration captained by mine
Professor for this climb there is
really was a pioneer in this
sector is one day our algorithm
unfortunately recognizes a stain the
lericino therefore saw him as clinical
they say but we do not see it though
the algorithm says that maybe there is one
injury what we do and have decided to
do the biopsy and do not give me mine
concern to say I submit one
woman a biopsy maybe is simply
a false positive
unfortunately it was a tumor but a lot
briefly the algorithm not only has them
saved your life but there is something new
finally the world economic forum there
he says that emotional intelligence is one
tangible concrete skill that the future
managers will have to finally get it
recognizes that typical skills
our women
the ability to have this flexibility
this empathy is cognitive
Emotional intelligence is a skill
tangible concrete but if this is and if
we really started and I see so many
young girls in classrooms v I urge you the
our contribution is our knowledge
of our skills must be a
we must put ourselves in favor of humanity
inside
we can no longer delegate but because there is
this byas because only 14 per
one hundred of the women of Italian girls
they decide to tackle subjects
scientific because the byas we create it
we are the ones who say at home
our daughters is technology a stuff
from males
the males are more worn I hired one
tide of guys who plan that
they make the analysis are very good then
these byas these stereotypes are enough
the girls I hired are good
as perhaps sometimes more than the boys
that I assumed therefore absolutely the
technology is not the stuff of men’s
a creative thing that he programmed sa
the beauty of programming and the
technology creates offers a good place to
work or a digital bees but there are in
this moment 240 thousand jobs
waiting for people and when there is
this youth unemployment see
that young people do not find work instead
really, these jobs are there
displeasure and where is born the true by
us at home when the boys see that
there is a different education between males
and females
when the boys realize that the
Pope maybe says to the male wifi
career the girl notes at home
quietly sought the fixed place
and then that’s where I really ask but
your work is fundamental to the Pope
in the creation of self confidence
of your daughters is essential to give
mpower mental girls my dad but
always said you are a champion you are worth
your potential and this thing has me
given such joy
this awareness that I will always be
grateful but then what can we do if
really we women quit
delegate if we were there with the
our brains with our skills
to help but intelligence
artificial to powerful marta
we can really break down the diseases
we can really create robots
truly empathic we can really
break down a sea of ​​problems that we
we have because these systems can a
give us a hand
a concept to which I am particularly
affectionate the digital sisterhood
we in Italy are lucky because
however we live with all ours
problems
in a free democratic country so if
girls do not go to study not
they make those matters a choice
cultural that we almost lim place but
they would have the liberties instead there are
of states and we know it well where they are
and girls if they wanted to study and to
state that prevents her from studying is it
state that prevents her from deciding with
who marry how to dress but then if
we did not offer these skills
even to these our sisters in one way
digital telemedicine platforms of
tele support imagine that beauty
how much support we could give to
all the youngest girls in the world
in all this work I did in
all these years of tiling of
mentor in to stay with people i have
understood the importance of those that me
I call my three c the competence le
educated people find work there
educated people are useful then
fundamental to study continue to
study endlessly and create this
competence but what perhaps is missing
our girls in Italy especially the
courage was said before we invent ourselves
a new story like that
let’s stop telling our girls
do the good no go break the world
we stop Libyans
we really stop dividing all of them
we talked about their ability on the fly
we are we parents who
we continue to create barriers to
these girls
therefore appeal to young people is not
listen too much to your parents
how to say we give life to our lives
ambitions for our passions because
then this gives happiness gives joy
and we arrive at our third c heart
you see a mile away when one
a person does something that puts his heart there
puts passion and when a person
it does a little like that and then we often do it
Italy above all women see
I work a little bit like an apple
economic recognition but work e
passion work is a social dignity
social role work really
the identity of a person and when one
person does a job with the heart does one
overtime and when women
they decide to put their heart not
they are in their family but also in the
their work and what really is born the
masterpiece creation
I think we must be there I think
that if we really put our own
our heart our skills
courage if we really inject
the emotional intelligence of which we women
we are very rich in intelligence
artificial
then we can trust you thanks
