Why ellpha?
ellpha embraces Artificial Intelligence to create a gender-balanced world, faster.
“ellpha’s goal is to empower people, organisations & machines to detect, surface, measure and act on bias and gender diversity to create a better world and accelerate change. ellpha wants to drive results, fast.”
GENDER EQUALITY MATTERS.
At Ellpha we believe that gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world.
If women—who account for half the world’s working-age population—do not achieve their full economic potential, the global economy will suffer.
gender balance and diversity contribute to building more successful and INCLUSIVE organisations.
Yet, change is too slow and step changes are needed to speed up the glacial pace of progress. The World Economic Forum estimates gender parity globally may now be over 170 years away.
We are becoming an AI-powered society.
Artificial intelligence is changing the world, and has the potential to enrich the life of millions of people. Yet, women and feminine values continue to be under-represented in coding and data science. Research increasingly highlights the risk of machines REgurgitating and amplifying stereotypes and bias as they rely on historical data. If not careful, AI could entrench GENDER bias.
But AI has also the potential to be a formidable force for good and change.
New models, applications, powered by AI, can be directed as the world’s biggest issues and can help create awareness and take action. AI offers unprecedented ability to uncover and surface hidden bias & stereotypes in real time and across ever growing data sets, in multiple languages and formats.
AI can help humans, organisations and machines to fight sexism and drive change, faster than ever.
At Ellpha, we want to change the world, and we believe that well designed AI can accelerate the positive change we want.
EllPha embraces AI to CREATE A MORE GENDER-BALANCED world and build the first women* friendly Artificial Intelligence Engine.
*by women we mean all women (trans, intersex and cis), all those who experience oppression as women (including non-binary and gender non-conforming people) and all those who identify as women.
“Just as electricity transformed many industries roughly 100 years ago, AI will also now change nearly every major industry — healthcare, transportation, entertainment, manufacturing — enriching the lives of countless people. I am more excited than ever about where AI can take us ...we are on the way to becoming an AI-powered society”
