DESCRIPTION:Have you ever imagined working in artificial intelligence and m
 achine learning? What educational background\, experience and skills do yo
 u need? What job opportunities are available? What real-world problems do 
 people solve? How do you get started? It turns out there are many diverse 
 pathways you could follow.\n\nPlease join us to meet three South Australia
 n women who are currently working in the field\, to hear about the work th
 ey do\, along with their unique stories and insights.\n\nCo-sponsored by: 
 Women in Engineering: WE00557 - South Australia Section Affinity Group\, W
 IE &amp; Computer Society: CH10222 - South Australia Section Chapter\, C16\n\n
 Agenda: \nHelen Dockrell\n\n[Notitia Consulting](https://www.notitia.consu
 lting/)\n\nHelen started her career as a research scientist in biochemistr
 y\, working with DNA and growing cells. She thought she&#39;d try a bit of com
 puter programming to model some experimental options... and ended up becom
 ing a software engineer/data scientist! Now she works at a consulting firm
 \, helping researchers\, doctors\, auditors and other professionals to nav
 igate their data. It&#39;s a job with a lot of variety\, and that requires lif
 e-long learning. Her work involves writing code to manage databases and cl
 ean data\, analysing that data and then presenting it in a format that her
  clients find intuitive and easy to interact with.\n\nTopic: Natural Langu
 age Processing.\n\nAli Anderson\n\n[Travltalk](https://travltalk.co)\n\nAl
 i is an AI and Digital Technologies Change Management Specialist\, with a 
 particular passion for guiding and supporting business through digital res
 tructure\, transition and growth. She is driven\, and inspired every day b
 y developing\, implementing and supporting organisational structures to gr
 ow and enhance human capacity and skill in an increasingly technological w
 orld. An experienced MC and presenter across the artificial intelligence a
 nd digital technologies space\, Ali has publicly spoken about these across
  multiple forums\, states and countries and is passionate about sharing he
 r vision for the future of work. She is driven to inspire and support the 
 participation of diverse genders\, cultures and socio-economic groups in c
 urrent and future technology.\n\nTopic: What Technology Has Taught Me Abou
 t The Importance of Being Human\n\nCOVID-19 has demonstrated that whilst a
 rtificial intelligence and machine learning are an ever-increasing enabler
  of business and society\, the role of humans has become increasingly impo
 rtant. Ali will talk about some of the skills and tools that she has built
  over her career that now enable her to thrive in rapidly-changing times\,
  and that will become ever more important against the backdrop of automati
 on and digital technology.\n\nJayshween Kumar\n\n[Flinders University](htt
