It's time to stop dumping thankless tasks on women.

Women get more asks than men to serve on committees, plan events, and take notes. They're more likely to be penalized if they say no—and taken for granted if they say yes.

Work should be divided equitably by role, not gender.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Happy International Women's Day!

We're celebrating women who have changed the world. Here's all of the amazing women who have received the #NobelPrize and their remarkable achievements at the time of the award.

Who are the women who inspire you the most?

[Sasha Luccioni, PhD 🦋🌎✨🤗 @SashaMTL]

Women still represent less than 25% of the AI workforce, in a field that is rapidly growing and impacting the lives of millions of people.
On this International Women's Day, I want to recognize some inspiring women who are fighting to improve AI's gender balance.

A big question looms over generative AI: what really is its impact on the environment? I spent months investigating a single campus of Microsoft data centers in the Arizona desert - designated in part for OpenAI - in an attempt to find out. Thread. https://t.co/tY3jFyxCfy

I really love the active discussion abt the role of ethics in AI, spurred by Google Gemini's text-to-image launch & its relative lack of white representation. As one of the most experienced AI ethics people in the world (>4 years! ha), let me help explain what's going on a bit.
