Together, we're redefining what it means, looks and feels like, to be doing "woman's work" in the world today. With confidence and the occasional rant. From boardrooms to studios, kitchens to coding dens, we explore the multifaceted experiences of today's woman, confirming that the new definition of "woman's work" is whatever feels authentic, true, and right for you. We're shedding expectations, setting aside the "shoulds", giving our finger to the "supposed tos". We're torching the old playbook and writing our own rules. Who runs the world? You decide.

What does it actually take to use LLMs? We may see the prompt center and receive a beautiful answer or use a WhatsApp chatbot and have an informative conversation, but the reality is that there’s a lot that goes on in the background. There are also a lot of things that NGOs will need to consider as they move forward in a changing world. AWS AI specialist David Master and Tech Tavern founder Scott Turnbull join this conversation to discuss how evolving technology and AI are influencing the non-profit space today. We discuss responsible use, donor responses to AI needs, and how new technological solutions are influencing HR and education in the workplace. Touching on the impact of AI on environmental research and addressing misconceptions about the impact of AI, we discuss the efficiency and complexity of AI today. If there’s one key takeaway from this conversation, it is to understand that AI is an enabler, rather than a threat to employment or efficiency. Tune in as we explore AI’s potential to change lives!
