Advocating for more diverse, equitable, and inclusive AI, she is on the frontline of ethical AI, generating real time responses to many of the unintentional conse- quences of AI.
Commenting on her appointment Re- nee said “The beauty of AI is its power to radically re-code, in real time, our concept of “a seat at the table” and who’s invited to the table to have a seat. With AI, we can create a table
with as many seats possible to ensure diversity, equity and inclusion are well placed, well positioned, and given pri- ority space, at every table, wherever, AI is being designed and deployed. I am thrilled to join InspiredMinds and their global community where we can use AI to stretch our imagination and co-design a more equitable future for all.”

The team has managed to foster a global community of technologists, academ- ics, practitioners, industry leaders, and learners, and contributors to share their knowledge, collaborate, and address pressing issues we must address. I’m delighted to join their efforts to spot- light Ai’s potential and those working to leverage it in different sectors.” Commenting on the appointments, Sarah Porter CEO and Founder of In- spired-Minds, said: “We are at a pivotal moment in InspiredMinds growth, our digital community has exploded in the last twelve months and we welcome Chris, Renee, Huguette and Paul to as- sist us in navigating that growth. Their combined global experience will be in- valuable as we continue to strengthen the InspiredMinds cause to include everyone in the creation, usage and deployment of emerging technologies.” Porter continued “We have an exciting opportunity ahead of us as we launch our Mothership AI omnichannel includ- ing an online platform to sit alongside existing international events portfolio that attracts in excess of 45,000 at- tendees around the world.”
