Taking a people-centric approach to tech

From discussions of responsible artificial intelligence (AI) best practices to equitable smart city infrastructure, attendees of AWS re:Invent 2022 dived deep on topics at the intersection of tech and inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility. Across each session, customers demonstrated how inclusion and diversity powered their customer-obsessed innovation.

The power of responsibility in AI/ML

As the world increasingly relies on artificial intelligence (AI) to inform decision-making, how can you advocate for your customers and maintain responsibility for your technology? Watch this session with Aileen Smith, Head of Content Strategy, Diversity Marketing at AWS, and Diya Wynn, Senior Practice Manager, AI/ML Ethics at AWS, to explore a strategy for the practice of responsible AI. Learn how to integrate a human-centered, culturally aware approach into product development work streams and build more trust with customers. Learn how to use big data responsibly, develop better AI systems, and build products and solutions to expand your customer base and serve people better.

Starting your responsible AI journey

Building more inclusive, responsible AI

With the growing use and scale of AI comes the recognition that we must all use it responsibly, respecting human rights, human dignity, and fundamental values such as equity, privacy, and fairness. In this session, hear from a panel of experts on challenges and issues facing organizations that are working to put responsible AI principles into practice.

A geographic perspective on responsible AI

With an upswing in AI/ML technology use and regulation right around the corner, AWS has helped customers to embrace the use of AI in a responsible manner. In this session, learn about work in Latin America and Australia that highlights the intersection of technology and society, and find out how the same approach can be utilized in any region.

Solving bias in an AI/ML-powered future
