OMG! So much fun at The AI Summit in Austin! I FINALLY met in person with Arbel Vigodny, winner of the IBM AI XPrize contest after working with the Zzapp Malaria team last year. And man, that BBQ is a whole different level 😋, esp with great friends #ai #ibm #aisummit #austin
So much fun presenting at the IBM AI Tech Camp for highschool students in San Jose! These young folks are so smart and eager to dig into AI and Data Science. And, I found myself a new work buddy at the IBM Silicon Valley Lab🐻 #ibm #ai #watson #highschool #mentoring #datascience

This is the kind of stuff that makes me proud to be an IBMer: being able to use AI to address social disparities in the criminal system. @leahanelson so much fun working with you and your team!
Incredibly grateful (and surprised) to be here. Thank you Kush, @larayejas and the entire IBM team who brought your creativity and passion to mapping fines and fees inequities w @AlaAppleseed. Next up: make the system more fair! 🍎 🤖
