World Leaders in Data and AI (WLDA) is a global leadership organization committed to shaping a fair digital world by advancing senior tech leaders who impact the future of data and AI with parity and equity.
WLDA offers a unique, structured approach for leaders in data & AI to have access to community, support, mentoring and sponsorship to become a world leader and role models.
Our events are designed to provide intimate and confidential conversations in a platform where participants find support from one another, providing the inspiration they may not find elsewhere.
The lack of leaders in tech, data and AI is contributing significantly to bias which lead to unintended consequences like discriminatory hiring, flawed credit scoring or medical diagnoses. (i.e. WEForum, MIT)
According to a study by Accenture and GirlsWhoCode, workplace experiences are playing a significant role in attracting, retaining and developing women leaders. Women hold 27% of computing roles in US companies. However, 50% of women who take a tech role, leave by age 35.
Decisions are increasingly dependent on data and AI. The significance of the human element in the loop is crucial.
The adoption of AI is moving at lightning speed, building an unbiased future is an urgent business imperative.
Bias in data and AI can have serious negative economic, reputational, and compliance consequences for both business and society, i.e. in healthcare, recruiting, banking.
Unfortunately, the data shows we are moving in the wrong direction. The gap to equity and parity is bigger than ever.
Our core values emphasize building a strong peer-to-peer community, focusing on personal and professional growth, and making a significant impact in the world of Data and AI.
We assist in retaining and developing future leaders in Data and AI and establishing their sponsor- and mentor-ships.
We empower women leaders through our premier executive and corporate memberships, connecting them with resources to make an impact in their organization and society.
