Join us for our sixth annual gathering of Women in STEM! 

Artificial Intelligence is integral to our daily lives, from how we interact with our health care providers, to our social media, to how our grocery stores are provisioned.  Engineers will be upskilling to address the responsibilities and risks of including AI in our designs and solutions.

DU Women in STEM, #wie5280, Rocky Mountain SWE, Rocky Mountain WICT and the Colorado Chapter of WiCyS invite you to virtually join our annual Bridges to Tomorrow Event: Connecting the Technical AI Experience with Non-Technical Boundaries for AI. The Technical Talk special guest Tanya Janca, aka SheHacksPurple, the best-selling author of 'Alice and Bob Learn Secure Coding', 'Alice and Bob Learn Application Security’ and the ‘AppSec Antics’ card game; will address Artificial Risks: AI, Games, and Threat Modelling. 

The Panel guests will explore the critical social, ethical, legal, economic and policy considerations that influence the development, deployment and societal integration of AI.
