"We are excited to welcome Dr. Timnit Gebru and Meredith Whittaker as keynote speakers at Info-Tech LIVE 2024," says Gord Harrison, senior vice president of research and advisory at Info-Tech Research Group. "Their contributions and work in AI and technology ethics will offer our attendees unique perspectives and invaluable insights."
