Women Shaping Responsible AI: A Conversation in Practice
About the session
As AI continues to shape systems, institutions, and everyday life, questions of safety, ethics, and responsibility are becoming more urgent—and more complex.
This session brings together women working across policy, product, research, and lived experience for a small, informal gathering during the Skoll World Forum. It is designed as a space for open, honest conversation about what is missing in how AI is currently being built, and what it would take to embed responsibility from the outset.
Rather than a formal panel, the session creates room for candid exchange—exploring how different perspectives intersect, where current approaches fall short, and how more grounded, inclusive, and accountable models of AI development might emerge.
What to expect
This will be an intimate, dialogue-led session focused on reflection and connection. Participants will engage in a facilitated conversation that surfaces real tensions, lived experiences, and practical questions around responsible AI—moving beyond abstract principles toward what this looks like in practice.
Who this is for
This session is for women working on or engaging with AI across sectors—whether in policy, product, research, or practice—who are interested in shaping more responsible and inclusive approaches to AI.
What you will get out of it
A space for honest, peer-to-peer conversation on responsible AI
New perspectives across different domains and lived experiences
Deeper reflection on what responsible AI looks like in practice
Connections with others working at the intersection of AI, ethics, and impact
