Women at the Forefront of AI and Data

Modified: Mar. 17 2026 Streaming

Join us to honor International Women's Day with Tekna Big Data, as we spotlight women leading the way in AI and data innovation through discussions on Responsible AI, federated learning, and ethical AI development.

Looking for a reason to get excited about tech this spring? Join us in March for an evening hosted by Tekna Big Data in collaboration with Women in data science and IEEE women in engineering.

Rather than just talking about the "future," we’re getting into the practical side of things, like how to build AI that’s actually ethical and how to share data securely through federated learning.

We’ve invited three fantastic experts to share what they’re working on:

  • Tita Alissa Bach (DNV)
  • Heidi Dahl (Posten)
  • Rebecca Wiborg (Vipps)
