Women Founding & Engineering the AI Future
Fierce and Women in AI Ireland are bringing together women who are building serious AI products - the decisions, the failures, and what responsible AI looks like as a daily engineering and strategy reality, not a policy document.
Speakers
Toma Ijatomi | Senior Data Scientist and AI Architect building production ML systems, agentic AI, and LLM pipelines. UNESCO Women4EthicalAI Champion. Her recent session on AI failures opened with: "Both passed their technical checks. Both failed people."
Shweta Soni | AI Engineer at Deloitte building GenAI solutions at scale, working on the gap between what organisations expect from AI and what it actually delivers.
Naomh McElhatton | Irish Ambassador for WAI and founder with two decades across innovation and startup strategy. She works at the intersection of AI adoption and the organisational reality of making it stick.
Moderated by Harshika Pareek | Senior AI Engineer at Flutter Entertainment, AI Awards Judge, and speaker at this week's Connected CIO Summit where she told the room: "You cannot hire your way to real time. You have to engineer it."
