I'm excited to be joining Women Sport Australia, Carol Fox, Laura Hingston and leaders from across the sports tech community at the at Sports Tech Conference a the MCG to talk about AI, and it's impact on shaping the visual representation of women and girls in sport. In my role at Getty Images I see the impact that imagery has on visibility, perception, and opportunity and I see AI as a powerful tool but only if it’s built and used with intention. I'm looking forward to a meaningful conversation tomorrow, and to ensuring innovation moves representation forward, not backwards. Event link is here if you wish to attend: https://lnkd.in/gWQRRzNF
