Didem Un Ates Head of Applied Strategy, Data & AI, CDO Office at Microsoft	Operationalizing Responsible AI The EU AI Act is expected to be implemented by 2023, and it will change how businesses develop and utilize AI. Any business that offers an AI application to EU citizens or organizations will need to ensure its applications are aligned with EU Charter of Rights and various other laws, including ones in relation to discrimination and privacy. These applications will have to abide by the framework of “trustworthy AI” set forth by the Act. One major area of change will be responsible AI (“RAI”). Did you like this session? Share to vote.
Arzu Çöltekin Professor of Human Computer Interaction and Extended Reality at University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland	How unconscious is unconscious bias? Giving examples from visual illusions that I study in my own work, I illustrate the concept of cognitive bias. Then I draw links between such illusions and unconscious bias in work contexts. The visual illusion examples disarm everyone who might not 'buy' the unconscious bias stories as a possibly harmful source of behavior. At the same time, it encourages taking responsibility without taking the blame, inviting us all to think what we can do to live a better life. Did you like this session? Share to vote.

Priyanka Gangishetty Senior Azure Customer Engineer at Microsoft Corp	Navigating Careers and Mental Health When I began my career in the US with Microsoft at 24, I thought that was the epitome of a Tech role you could possibly land.

It took me years to acknowledge I needed help and once I started seeking therapy, the impact it had on me and my career… read more

Diana Gabrielyan Analytics Team Lead at Stockmann	Using Machine Learning for the Benefit of the Economy We have heard and read about all the cool things that machine learning and AI can create and lead to. What we do not hear a lot about is how machine learning applications help policymakers, economists, and central bankers. We don’t talk enough about this possibility because we don’t have good practical examples. Applying machine learning requires strong mathematics and statistical skills, whereas traditionally economists did not need to have these skills.
