As women building our own businesses, we deserve technology that reflects our voices and values.

This session shines a light on gender bias in AI and offers practical, accessible ways to navigate it.

Together, we’ll explore how to use AI with better awareness of gender outputs , creatively, and confidently — so every woman in the room can better use these tools without losing her power or perspective.

About our speaker:

Digital Liz is dedicated to helping people have more control over the technology they use so that we can navigate digital environments.  The aim is to make better informed choices of how to use or not use the technology.
