Women In AI Breakfast & Coffee at NY Tech Week 2025

During NYTechWeek, we welcomed a full house to our annual WomeninAI Breakfast at NYSE with AI Trailblazers!

Our panel, “The Operators: Building AI from the Inside Out” was moderated by our Product & Growth Lead Sasha Newman-Oktan featuring several amazing and inspiring women who are leading at the forefront of the industry:

• Chloe Myshel Burke: AI Policy Lead, Meta
• Margaret Pierson: Director of ML, Wayfair
• Amanda Bickerstaff: CEO, AI for Education
• Diane Yu: CEO, Tidalwave
• Iris Cheng: Founding SWE, InstaLILY AI

Some key takeaways and lessons:

• Knowing what data to erase is just as critical as knowing what to keep - essential for user trust and privacy.
• Accurate, inclusive datasets help models avoid replaying biases and give a voice to communities traditional data may overlook.
• Responsible and ethical AI is a team sport. We all play a part in keeping AI fair and compliant amid evolving global regulations.

To our star panelists: Thank you for sharing your real, thoughtful stories and for giving us so much to bring home with us and dive deeper into. Your time and insights are invaluable!

Enjoy a quick video recap - and see you next year!
