ARTISAN Jayesh Bapu Ahire

Whether in daily mobility, in industrial applications or in the form of assistance solutions at home: Artificial Intelligence permeates an ever wider range of our lives. It is associated with great hopes, but it also raises fears. Therefore, the call for ethical guidelines regarding the new technologies is becoming increasingly louder. How can the “right” values be integrated into technical action? Can and may AI determine what is right? How to ensure that AI is developed, used and provided in the service of mankind? And how can the decision-making processes of AI, including wrong decisions, be made transparent, given the huge, complex amounts of data?Join us for a panel discussion on what is importance of implementing ethical practices within your predictive models, data workflows, products and AI research. We want all participants to walk away with tactical steps that can help prevent harmful data products or research.Event Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPwJqIAZ4QEOur Panelists:1.

With so many tech startups finding success in Pune, We at AWS UG Pune  thought it would be valuable to hear it straight from some of the best  at the game, the founders/CTO's themselves who can successfully say  they’ve “made it.” It’s one thing to think of an idea, propose it, and  create a startup for yourself, but how do you draw the line from just  another startup to a prosperous business?

At this event, the  panelists will consist of Founders, Co-founders, entrepreneurs, CTO's  giving their insight on what they’ve found to work and not work in the  city, as well as their own personal struggles and successes of starting  and growing their company in India.

We will also discuss how's COVID-19 situation is impacting their business and how they are fighting with the situation.
