why tech needs more women. these three women want to build a better world through technology but they've had to fight bias in a sector dominated by men. one example over the past decade eighty eight percent of all i see patents and us were registered by men the tech pioneers agree this needs to change virtual reality is seen as a technology with huge growth potential. it transports users beyond the boundaries of the physical world to mind boggling new experiences whether for entertainment therapeutic or educational purposes v.r. has many different fields of application but women are barely involved in its development. i don't think you know any defense in the technology that if we're. stopping women from entering this is because the naturally thing that it is a very complex. technology was really easy.

half of her students to be women and reach that goal within just the first few years. it's a fact that women game as well and that's why women can and should also develop games has had the games address a female audience i don't think women develop fundamentally different games just because they're women that maybe they can approach things from a different perspective. future technologies are profiting from input by women. viewed as the internet's next step of evolution it can be used to decentralize finances trade and state governments making them more transparent and fair so far block change trailblazers are predominantly men. and i think women are actually been trained not to take risks and that's the case with the train technology it hasn't established itself in a way that i can explain it to my grandparents and tell them i'm working on block change technologies and they'd say that's my girl. credo into arabs was willing to

secret so it's difficult to prove an algorithm is making decisions or associations the program can check if an algorithm is discriminatory it simulates. everything. allowing an initial comparison accountability transparency and fairness are really the future of machines and we need to make them trustworthy and we need to. people to ask questions about how they work. and allow people the see how they're operating and how they're trained to eliminate prejudice and algorithms that will take more social awareness human oversight. shift says be wary of over reliance. and now are downloaded the shift actually. a visit to the museum can be a rewarding experience but what if it's just too far away. the world's biggest search engine google has a solution for google arts and culture and lets you virtually visit more than
