Lecture

The field of quantum computing offers a unique opportunity to proactively address many of the inequities that have plagued AI and computer science. However, radical technologies demand innovative solutions. In this talk, the speaker challenges the use of the leaky pipeline metaphor as a framework for devising policy interventions aimed at addressing inequality in STEM field.
