SUMMARY:African Women Building With AI
DESCRIPTION:African Women Building With AI is a virtual summit created to
  help African women across the continent and diaspora use artificial inte
 lligence safely\, confidently\, and profitably in business\, careers\, co
 mmunity work\, and everyday life.\n\nThis four-hour event will bring toge
 ther women working across AI\, business\, healthcare\, education\, techno
 logy\, leadership\, and community development. Through practical talks\, 
 demonstrations\, guided discussions\, and real-world examples\, attendees
  will learn how to move from simply hearing about AI to applying it in wa
 ys that address their actual needs and goals.\n\nThe summit will explore:
 \n\n• Practical ways to use AI at work\, in business\, and in everyday li
 fe\n• How women can build AI-supported services\, products\, and income o
 pportunities\n• Responsible AI use\, including privacy\, bias\, safety\, 
 and human oversight\n• Career opportunities and skills needed for an AI-s
 haped workforce\n• How African women can help shape the future of AI—not 
 only consume it\n• Ways to build relationships and collaborations across 
 Africa and the diaspora\n\nAttendees will leave with clearer knowledge of
  what AI can and cannot do\, practical ideas they can apply immediately\,
  and connections to women building with AI in different fields and region
 s.\n\nThis event is designed for entrepreneurs\, professionals\, students
 \, educators\, healthcare workers\, community leaders\, creators\, consul
 tants\, and women who are curious about AI but may not consider themselve
 s technical.\n\nNo coding or prior AI experience is required.\n\nAfrican 
 Women Building With AI supports Boston AI Week’s 2026 theme\, “AI in Busi
 ness and in Life\,” by expanding access to practical AI education and bri
 nging African and diaspora perspectives into the wider Massachusetts AI c
 ommunity.\n\nHuman First. AI Second. Always.™
