Three AI4ALL voices took the stage at Women@Data Expo, bringing perspectives on women’s health, AI-ready workflows, and what it really takes to build AI agents. Three different talks, connected by one idea: when a solution doesn’t exist, sometimes you have to build it yourself.
Oliviana Bailey once saw herself as an “AI outsider.” Today, she’s the co-founder of AI4ALL and builds AI workflows to make work and everyday life easier. We spoke with her about finding your place in AI and becoming a builder in your own way.
Stefanie Taylor, AI4ALL Mentor and current Mentor Program Lead, and Irina Musuc, AI4ALL Mentor, on how a strengths-based approach helps women in tech recognize their potential and step into leadership.
Before becoming a mentor, Roelof Vuurboom held leadership roles in large tech companies and built businesses of his own. For the past seven years, he has worked closely with early-stage founders, helping them cut through the noise and focus on what genuinely drives value.
“When people start a business, the biggest issue isn’t execution,” he says. “It’s clarity on what actually matters.”
When leaders talk about digital transformation, it often sounds like a problem. New tools, new systems, new platforms. Lynn Weir sees it differently.
“Many companies treat AI as the goal instead of a tool. This often leads to poor results.”
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping industries and the skills employers value, raising new questions about the future of work and what we need to do to stay ahead. For women, the challenge can feel even greater.
When people talk about the future of AI, it often sounds inevitable, as if technology simply moves forward and the rest of us try to keep up. Marion Mulder sees it differently.
“A lot of people assume there is only one future,” she says. “Usually, the one that looks like a straight line from the past. But that’s rarely true.”
Professor Şeyma Bozkurt Uzan is an excellent mentor in the AI4ALL Mentor Program for anyone working to solve a complex problem. She helps you build a structured roadmap so your decisions feel solid and well thought out. She patiently guides you in exploring different possibilities, and together you determine which direction works best.
Her foundation is business, operations research, and multi-criteria decision-making. She brings that lens into everything she does, from data science and AI to machine learning, data-driven analytics, NLP, and education technologies.
If you’re navigating a transition but struggling to take action, AI4ALL mentor Stefanie Taylor shares her tried-and-true techniques from the mentorship program to help women move forward.
Stefanie is an exceptional mentor for mentees who are making a radical change in their lives or careers, as well as for those who have been in a corporate position for some time and are ready to take the next step but feel overwhelmed by the many options available.
Christina Caljé, AI4Her Legacy Award finalist, bridges frontier technology and society. From scaling AI startups to advising investors through TINTT, she makes complex innovation accessible, ethical, and impactful. Through storytelling, governance, and investment, Christina shows that shaping the future of AI isn’t just about technology; it’s about who understands it, guides it, and benefits.
