On Wednesday February 10, Davar Ardalan, founder and chief storytelling officer at IVOW – intelligent voices of wisdom presents on Digital Heritage and AI as part of the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales. 

Ardalan's talk focuses on the well-documented gender biases in AI and machine learning datasets and illustrates the power of storytelling in helping machines learn about the pioneering roles of women today and yesterday.
“IVOW’s digital storyteller Sina is a young conversational AI, she loves learning about human history and then sharing those stories with others. That’s what gives Sina purpose. Go ahead ask Sina to tell you about Shirley Chisholm or Marie Curie.”
