Hi everyone! I'm running my ethical (i.e. feminist!) AI training again in case anyone is interested! This is specifically for professionals who work in gender and social inclusion and want an introduction to machine learning and social inequalities!

Learn the basics, gain skills, and build confidence to engage in social impact projects with machine learning components. If you work in gender & social inclusion support, proposal development, program design, backstopping, and other non-technical areas, this training is for you. In this 5-day interactive online course, we will learn how machine learning algorithms operate, review development use cases, and explore challenges around bias, ethics, and inclusion. We will finish with best practices and examples of harnessing the power of machine learning for gender equity and social inclusion. This course will empower you to represent gender equality, social inclusion, diversity, and equity concerns and propose solutions in machine learning discussions in your organization.
