CREATE SE4AI and Applied AI Institute presented a workshop at the 35th IEEE International Conference on Collaborative Advances in Software and Computing (CASCON 2025) on Advancing Gender-Inclusive AI through the GEMinAI Program. Using the Gender Equity Mentoring in AI (GEMinAI) program as a successful use case, the workshop explored best practices and novel approaches to support and promote gender equality in AI. A panel discussion featured experts from industry and academia, and participants had opportunities for networking, rich discussions, and meaningful interactions.
