In our fast-paced digital age, artificial intelligence is not just transforming our world; it’s reshaping how we see and engage with each other. Bias in AI, whether hidden or overt, is not just a glitch in the system; it’s a reflection of our collective history, prejudices, and oversights. It’s time for #AI to not just reflect our world but to help reimagine and rebuild it more equitably. This is our moment to pivot – to transform AI from a mere digital tool to a catalyst for social change. The time is now to create a more inclusive future of AI, together.

If fury is what it takes to create your best work, so be it! As women, people often take credit for our ideas. Sometimes, we aren't taken seriously, we're talked over or dismissed.

More and more women are entering the C-suite as CCOs. In fact, women hold the majority of chief communication roles within the Fortune 500. Why?

Yet, the disparity in other C-suite roles underscores the need for continued advocacy and opportunity, ensuring diverse leadership that reflects the richness of talent and perspective women bring to the table.

AI for good: AI is about to revolutionize #healthcare. 129 million Americans have at least one major chronic disease—and 90% of our $4.1 trillion in annual health care spending goes toward treating these physical and mental-health conditions. From personalized health advice to predictive analytics, AI can help patients make healthier choices and manage chronic conditions more effectively. Most health recommendations at the moment, though important, are generic: you might receive an automated reminder to get a flu shot or mammogram. AI will make possible precise recommendations tailored to each person. This innovation is transforming patient care and promoting long-term health benefits, democratizing the life-saving benefits of improving daily habits and address growing health inequities. 👏 These are the ideas behind Thrive AI Health, the company the OpenAI Startup Fund and Thrive Global are jointly funding. How do you think #AI will impact your health journey? Read more: https://lnkd.in/gQv6qit6 Arianna Huffington

Everyone will always have something to say–but at the end of the day it's what you say to yourself that matters most. Own your strengths, know your value, and never let anyone else tell you who or what you are! 🎥 Gabrielle Union
