Women in the world of technology the programs of tomorrow are mostly developed by men three successful pioneers tell us why tech needs more women. These three women want to build a better world through technology but theyve had to fight bias in a sector dominated by men. One example over the past decade eighty eight percent of all i t. Patents in the u. S. 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 the r. Has many different fields of application but women are barely involved in its development. I dont think you know anything defense in the technology it says that it would. Gender stopping women from entering this is because the only thing that it is a very complex. Technology. Really easy. Study Computer Science in india after that she developed and program open Source Software at conferences around the world she speaks about the our applications and web browsers our goal is to inspire other women. If a woman is involved in the building of any application the fear the kind of feeling because we are is all about the experience and feel so the kind of feel it gives to the user is more empathetic Computer Games are mostly aimed at a male audience they often play a distorted picture of women. One reason may be due to the fact that only twenty percent of Game Development related jobs are held by women they face a lot of obstacles just a few women have to work much harder in this industry they need to accomplish two or three times as much to earn the same recognition. In two thousand and nine. Set up a batch. Of applied sciences she wanted half of her students to be women and reach that goal within just the first few years tucked into facts that women game as well and thats why women can and should also develop games. That games address a female audience i dont think women develop fundamentally different games just because theyre women but maybe they can approach things from a different perspective. Future technologies are profiting from input by women. Viewed as the internets next step of evolution that can be used to decentralize finances trade and state governments making them more transparent and fair so far block chain trailblazers are predominantly men. I think women are actually been trained not to take risks and thats the case with lots. In technology it hasnt established itself in a way that i can explain it to my grandparents and tell them im working on block change technologies and theyd say thats my girl. Creating the arabs was willing to take the risk with a ph d. In physics shes worked at columbia and stanford in twenty seventeen she left science to begin managing the block chain startup gnosis. She is now also the head of a nationwide Digital Currency and block chain lobby group the German Federal block trade association tend to have fallen and if more women were involved in developing chain it wouldnt make asses less equal than it already is right now white men between twenty and thirty five of the ones making a fortune they will shape tomorrow as well. Its women like these who are shaping future technologies and with their dedication to bringing more diversity to the world of tomorrow. Shift says keep up the great work. Now its time for our shift franking the most successful women in the Tech Industry in fifth place Angela AhrendtsSenior Vice President and one of two senior female Board Members at apple and she was listed in forbes ranking of the most powerful women in the world in twenty fifteen and has been helping to drive apple sales since twenty fourteen. At number four meg whitman until recently president and chief executive officer of Hewlett Packard enterprise a millionaire activist and philanthropist she proved the appear to me of cool when she took part in the ice bucket challenge. Coming in third bridge and youre already the first woman to serve as c. E. O. And president of i. B. M. She has degrees in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering and started working our way to the top of my b. M. As a Systems Engineer in one thousand nine hundred eighty one. Are runner up. Perspective. Number one. Shes committed to it. The french president. Was working. Program. Whether shopping or researching algorithms could heavily influence the decisions we make but what happens when programs are sexist. Society. If you google the words secretary the Search Engine stereotypical results. Secretaries are almost exclusively women at least according to the algorithm. Translation software. Professional. Types even in finnish. He is a babysitter she. Is a winner she is a secretary. These. Have huge implications for. Women receive more suggestions for lower paying jobs than men a study by Carnegie Mellon university. Says its not only algorithms that are to blame because they are still programmed and fed with information by humans and algorithms because we train it. Either whether its deep learning with a Neural Network so to speak or shallow machines were feeding data and were asking it to form an opinion. And of course when that opinion is based on data that has unfair treatment of groups and very much learned. Translation software millions of text teach it which would be most appropriate if these texts mention. That the picture recognition algorithms learn from large picture databases hey you can find pictures of women in the kitchen. Women with kitchen another problem. They have already learned to the point even though they identified this man as a woman. Changing difficult time consuming. One important thing is to know all of the sources of your data so to be very aware that if youre going to collect a lot of data over a period of years that perhaps you should have a human look through some of that or a group of humans and mark or the content that perhaps carries harmful or unfair treatment of groups or people the code behind these algorithms are often top secret so its difficult to prove an algorithm is making decisions or associations the program can check if an algorithm is discriminatory it simulates fake accounts that are identical in everything. Allowing an initial comparison accountability transparency and fairness are really the future of Machine Learning and we need to make them trustworthy and we need to. People to ask questions of how they work and allow people to see how theyre operating and how theyre trained to eliminate prejudice in algorithms it will take more social awareness human oversight. You know short and sweet. Snapshot. Programming can be inspiring this is the idea behind the Nonprofit Organization code to inspire in afghanistan here nearly half the population is illiterate. In Helmand Province women are learning how to work with computers. For the good of the people because to be involved i think. Its good its. First results a smartphone game that addresses real problems in afghanistan the users play soldiers fighting against opium and drug smugglers. With their new programming skills these women now have a better chance of finding a job. That was snapshot. And for more on the Digital World visit our Facebook Page new digital.
