Women in AI Awards

Since 2019, VentureBeat has been honoring the women leaders, mentors, researchers and entrepreneurs who are transforming the AI industry with their groundbreaking efforts, making it more equitable and ethical for all. The VentureBeat Women in AI Awards was founded to emphasize how vital the voices, work, and experiences of these women are to AI as a field and a technology and to shine a light on some of these leaders. This year we are accepting nominations on behalf of the women who are taking great strides forward (and inspiring others along the way).
