TheCUBE celebrated International Women's Day with its “Women in Data Science Worldwide” event held today, where women from around the world came together to share ideas and insights on inclusivity, data science, sustainability, and more.
Radhika Shah (pictured), chair of the Innovation Advisory Group and fellow at Stanford University's Center for Human Rights and International Justice, says collaboration across borders, gender and age is essential to achieving global sustainability goals. Materiality is said to be a top priority for most organizations. University.
“We want to bring together the power of data science and digital innovation to engage students and build bridges to solve some of the world's biggest problems. “We're thinking about what we can do together to help,” she said.
Shah spoke with theCUBE Research analyst Savannah Peterson at the Women in Data Science Worldwide Conference during an exclusive broadcast on SiliconANGLE Media's livestreaming studio, theCUBE. They discussed global sustainability and the transformative potential of digital innovation.
Strengthening intersectionality: Catalyzing change
According to Shah, who works to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by tackling pressing issues such as climate change, inclusion and gender equality, understanding intersectionality effectively will foster social progress. It is said that it is important.
“Everything I do now is driven by doing whatever it takes to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals,” she said. “These… goals give us a north star now in terms of tackling climate change, inclusivity, gender equality and ensuring we are all connected and leave no one behind in the world. Masu.”
Shah's involvement in a variety of fields, from academia to entrepreneurship, reflects a holistic approach to effecting change. As co-chair of Stanford Angels and Entrepreneurs, she fosters collaboration to advance innovation and social impact. Similarly, her leadership of the Center for Human Rights and International Justice's Technology and Innovation Advisory Group demonstrates a commitment to ethical progress.
“One [of the hats I wear] “I am co-chair of the Stanford Angels and Entrepreneurs, a community of approximately 3,000 alumni,” Shah said. “We focus on advanced technology, innovation and entrepreneurship, and we are also like a family.”
Harnessing digital innovation for inclusive progress, data science and sustainability
According to Shah, technology plays a vital role in facilitating inclusive dialogue and decision-making processes. By leveraging participatory platforms and online deliberation tools, individuals can contribute to micro-decision making and engage in constructive discussions, transcending geographic and social barriers.
“This bridge could be a game-changer that brings the power of digital innovation,” Shah said. “What we are trying to do there is bring the power of the technology media market from our world, our country, and build bridges with the rest of the world and raise awareness about the Sustainable Development Goals. It's about co-creating it.”
Digital innovation has the potential to reduce bias and foster objective dialogue, as exemplified by efforts to address racial disparities in the investment ecosystem. However, Shah noted that there are several challenges posed by the digital divide and the need for equitable access to technology. It is important, she added, to recognize and address gaps in digital literacy and infrastructure, both locally and globally.
“There is no sustainability without inclusion,” Shah said. “The spirit of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals is to leave no one behind. That's inclusion. That's the core tenet on which they are based.”
