.@AspenInstitute During a #pandemic where #women have been pushed out of workforce in record numbers, you choose to put a poster with #allmale and #Robots In your mind, you equate labor to men. Shameful!

One more tone-deaf #AI event inviting me to speak about #DiversityandInclusion while featuring #allmale poster with #robots Not a single #POC in speaker list other than me. Sigh :( https://www.aspeninstitute.de/conferences/aspen-berlin-ai-week-2020/ … #manel @AspenInstitutepic.twitter.com/ytyU1EzZQe

Getting a speaker of an underrepresented group to talk about
#DiversityandInclusion is like saying you are a good communicator on your resume. It's a joke and if you actually practiced diversity you wouldn't need to come out and say it it would be obvious from the other talks - Show replies

I was surprised they did not add Sophia the fakebot to the mix

All the more ironic (and tone-deaf) on a week when "Angela Merkel’s coalition government have agreed to introduce a mandatory quota for women in the senior management of listed German companies"https://www.ft.com/content/1bbb07fa-02c0-46c8-9c1a-a80e6a46ea63 …

It's funny that the picture represents men doing a hard dangerous job as "brick layers" I wonder when there's going to be mandatory quotas for women in the construction industry.... and I don't mean as managers

I get what they were trying to do with the poster of an iconic historic photograph and if this were the only issue it would be excusable - but one has to scroll quite a bit to get to the women on the list and no POC. Not much diversity at all. Didn’t see you on the list?

I have refused to accept the invitation in its current state
