Unlock the future of Inclusive AI: What does it truly take to build systems that are responsible and equitable from the ground up?

In this essential episode on Gender Bias in AI and Responsible AI, we sit down with Miri Rodriguez, former star storyteller at Microsoft and the groundbreaking CEO/Founder of Empressa.ai.

After 13 years crafting narratives within Big Tech, a personal health journey — including battling cancer — pushed Miri to pioneer a solution for one of technology’s biggest challenges: the AI gender gap.

Key Takeaways

• Why the legacy of male-designed technology (like the car airbag) proves that gender-neutral is often just male-default
• How Empressa.ai is rewriting this reality by implementing a royalty model that fairly compensates women for contributing their insights and lived experience
• Actionable design principles for building inclusive AI agents and foundational models
• Why the true barrier for women in AI adoption is often confidence and the need for safe learning spaces — not capability
• How to insert women’s knowledge intentionally into AI systems to reduce bias
