AI Futures
Fellowship for Women
Just as the Internet and mobile technology revolutionized the world, Generative AI is poised to reshape how humanity connects, creates, and thrives. While the challenges are real, so are the opportunities to reimagine a brighter future. What could super-intelligent systems, guided by the best of human intentions, truly achieve?
​
If we can visualize an ideal world where education is transformed, livelihoods are empowered, climate change is addressed, and water sustainability is achieved, we think we can manifest them.
Can Generative AI become a force for equity, amplifying women’s voices and visions in building a more inclusive and sustainable future? What does that tomorrow look like, when people who identify as women or non-binary are at the forefront of shaping it?
​
The AI Futures Fellowship for Women, presented in partnership with Malleshwaram Enterprising Women's Society, Gooey.AI & Jaaga Trust, is a dynamic and empowering space for people who identify as women or non-binary to envision, create, spark, and lead transformative change.
