The Summit is more than an event. It is a convergence of change-makers: from regional and global leaders to government ministers and top executives. A space to explore emerging trends, to advance the DEI agenda and disrupt the status quo. The Summit is the region’s forum for transformation and lasting impact through diversity and inclusion.
We have set out to fix AI’s gender bias using AI itself. We have created a vast image bank of women in various professions, to teach AI that women can be engineers, mathematicians, CEOs and more. All of our images are royalty- and rights-free, and we encourage you to download and use them on the internet so AI can recognise diversity.
True progress is a symphony, not a solo performance. At Aurora50, we want to foster enduring impact, with a synergy of collaboration. Our strategic alliances with industry leaders amplify everyone’s ability to drive lasting change.
