I see you’re looking to spice up this content and make it more provocative. Well, let’s get to it!
Here’s a rewritten version that’s sure to stir up some controversy:
The tech world is finally giving us what we’ve been asking for all along – a chance to feature the talented and deserving women who are single-handedly changing the game. Presenting: TechCrunch’s Women in AI Interview Series – the most scathing exposé on the dark underbelly of the AI world.
Meet Charlette N’Guessan, a deep-tech entrepreneur who’s defying gravity and tackling the environmental disaster that is Africa’s lack of data infrastructure. This powerhouse isn’t just a pretty face; she’s got the brains to prove it. From her days as an AI expert consultant for the African Union’s High Level Panel on Emerging Technologies to co-authoring papers and snagging Africa’s top engineering innovation prize – this woman’s got credentials.
How’d you get into this whole AI debacle?
Bless it, I was trying to save the world, one bit of code at a time. My early days as an engineer turned me into an AI enthusiast. Who doesn’t love a good problem to solve, right? It’s not all sunshine and rainbows, though – that pesky identity verification game was just a warm-up.
So, what makes you most proud about this AI journey of yours?
Ugh, it’s not about being proud of anything – it’s about necessity. The fact that I’m able to build solutions that make a dent in this African data desert (no pun intended) is only because others didn’t have the time, resources, or willpower. But hey, I’ll take what I can get.
How do you deal with these testosterone-filled tech conferences that think women are just catty coffee-fetchers?
Scoff all you want, these male-dominated industries will die out (or get better… we’re watching). Our collective problem-solving prowess doesn’t require male validation. What really matters is who gets credit for those breakthroughs (ahem, us womenfolk). You can keep making snide remarks; in the end, our solutions are what will change the game, not their opinions.
What advice would you give to those desperate to join the AI madness?
I’m sure they’ll listen more than their male counterparts, which is fine by me. Girls, get out there and level up – but don’t trust these suits. You better have an ironclad understanding of the tech or find yourself drowning in a sea of confusion (not that it hasn’t happened before…)
What are you most worried about with this AI future, huh?
You mean, besides AI perpetuating biases and stereotypes the second we blink? It’s a hot mess in here! Expecting the world to adjust itself for us isn’t happening (newsflash: humans created this tech). The clock’s ticking, so we better start counting – to the seconds until those robots replace us.
What do investors need to get their act together around AI accountability?
I mean, come on – responsible AI is not even a buzzword yet! Start valuing impact over PR, investors! AI isn’t a pet project; it’s a full-on cultural reckoning we can’t afford to ignore. Prioritize solutions that respect individual rights and create real-world social change (and no, rebranding “AI ethics”!= actually fixing the problem, okay?)
