Tara Chklovski has spent much of her career inspiring young women to take on some of the world’s biggest challenges using technology.
The founder and CEO of education nonprofit Technovation joined the AI Podcast in 2019 to discuss the AI Family Challenge. Now, she returns to explain how inclusive AI makes the world a better and, crucially, less boring place.
In this episode of the NVIDIA AI Podcast, Chklovski and Anshita Saini, a Technovation alumna and member of the technical staff at OpenAI, explore how the nonprofit empowers girls worldwide through technology education.
They discuss the organization’s growth from its early days to its current focus on AI education and real-world problem-solving.
In addition, Saini shares her journey from creating an app that helped combat a vaping crisis at her high school, to her first exposure to AI, through to her current role working on ChatGPT. She also talks about Wiser AI, an initiative she recently founded to support women leaders and other underrepresented voices in artificial intelligence.
