#WeaveSphere's keynote @WilliamBarry2 doesn't let his #AI assistant, Mariabot, use Twitter "because she'll become a psychopath." AI will become as caring and moral as we make them. So the info we provide or give them access to informs how ethical they learn to be.

We've had computers and even #ArtificialIntelligence for a long time now. What's different, explained @ghadfield during her #WeaveSphere keynote, is that it's evolved to include #MachineLearning, combined with mass digitization and huge computing power.

.@fyelabs makes product development simple for ambitious small- and medium-sized businesses — and they also joined #WeaveSphere's roster of sponsors this year! Learn more about FYELABS ➡️ fyelabs.com #cdntech

All women in tech do not look the same or do the same type of job, says @Jilly0901. She encourages young #WomenInStem to find a mentor that exemplifies the type of work they're interested in. #WeaveSphere #cdntech

Mariabot, @WilliamBarry2's #AI assistant, won't fall for a question that provides a false dichotomy, like "is cake a soup or salad?" She'll tell you what cake is instead. But she wasn't always able to — she's learned this nuance over time. #WeaveSphere

We're thrilled @ACCESEmployment joined us as a #WeaveSphere sponsor. They're a non-profit that provides customized job search services for Canadian newcomers, jobseekers, youth, women, and refugees. Learn more about the work they do ➡️ accesemployment.ca #cdntech

When it comes to upskilling and reskilling, there is a 23% ROI on skills training and an 8% increase in job retention, explained Magdalena Sabat of @TorontoMetDI. 91% of business owners believe training employees is important to grow their business. #WeaveSphere

As @WilliamBarry2 explained at #WeaveSphere, a robot cannot be empathetic. They are taught the psychological language of empathy, he explains. It's important to continuously hold them to account because their options are only as ethical as the data they access. #WeaveSphere

Studies show that by grade 4, girls and boys are at the same level in math — but societally we tell girls they're bad at math and science, said @tina_behroozi, during #WeaveSphere's #WomenInTech panel. Organizations that help girls engage with #tech can change this conversation.

"Imagine if all the data you have encrypted one day became unencrypted," asked @marcel_mitran. "Quantum computing will be able to crack encryption easily." Mitran says a risk today is data is being harvested now to be decrypted later, and that's a major issue. #WeaveSphere

Showing curiosity about a customer's business is important in sales — both asking questions and taking a genuine interest. #AI is learning to spot challenges by analyzing the answers customers give to the challenges they have, says @chhavipreet of @flytenotes. #WeaveSphere

"The biggest [#cryptocurrency] use case right now that I'm seeing is #stablecoins," explained @forgeforth_ from @Cointelegraph, during #WeaveSphere. He adds, some are even going above and beyond, and creating innovative payment systems.

#WeaveSphere is sponsored by great companies like @globalive, whose founder @AnthonyLacavera hosted a session on Canadian innovation. Globalive builds + invests in companies, alongside driven entrepreneurs, that are committed to developing tech to improve industries. #cdntech

Speaking at #WeaveSphere, @SumikaSingh had advice for #WomenInTech looking to combat imposter syndrome: be your own "inner champion," rather than an inner critic. Coach yourself through career challenges the way you would support a friend. #WeaveSphere

We're thrilled that @uOttawaGenie joined us at #WeaveSphere as a sponsor. Research is at the heart of what #uOttawa is all about, and the Faculty of Engineering has not only embraced this core strength, but made it an overall mindset.

"Web3 and metamarkets right now are lots of talk, but little action," said @fuelmediacom's Matt Everson. Many are discussing what can be done on these platforms. Rather, he suggests, we should just start building, drawing on video game performance data as a roadmap. #WeaveSphere

"We need to create STEM learning environments that are messy. You may not know exactly what students will learn, but whatever it ends up being will offer tremendous value." — @mrmindel #WeaveSphere #EducationTech #cdntech #STEM #STEMeducation
