In this special Christmas episode of AI for Equity, Jenny Garrett OBE reflects on what it really means to make AI fair, inclusive, and equitable.
If the AI industry had a Christmas dinner, who would be missing from the table?

We explore the digital divide, the absence of indigenous and minoritized voices, and why representation isn’t just a moral issue, but a practical necessity for building technology that works for everyone.

This episode is a gentle reminder that equity starts with listening, and progress begins when every voice is invited in.

🎄 Join us as we close 2025 with reflection, hope, and a call to action for the AI community.

How do you design technology that truly represents everyone?

Maisa Bennati joins AI for Equity to discuss the intersection of diversity, design, and innovation. From fashion tech to AI ethics, we explore how bias finds its way into the products we build and how inclusive design can change that story.
