The message is this: "If our world is going to be driven by artificial intelligence algorithms, yet huge sections of society are underrepresented when deciding how these are programmed, then we have a problem. This has to change. Our education system must be multi-disciplinary and based on real-life problem-solving. Students need technical and creative skills." Quite so. But the main message of this post is that all this is especially true for girls and women. "There are issues around equity here... while role models are powerful, I think it's more than that. We need to build women's technical skills, creative skills, social and emotional skills."
