Me, myself and my AI
For the successful adoption of AI, we need more female leaders. Why? As AI projects succeed on 4 factors (data, technology, people and processes), women normally possess the right qualities to lead projects to build real-world AI products more successfully as they fully master the enablement of an environment for collaboration and inclusion.
Mieke is a unique blend of knowledgeable, thoughtful, and passionate. She explains complex and delicate matters in a simple manner, tailoring her message to the target audience. Mieke was a lot of fun to work with.
