Terms of Service
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using our Women Defining AI community platforms, including our website, Slack channels, and any associated online or offline services (collectively, the "Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (the "Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Services.
2. Our Mission and Vision
Our mission is to level the playing field for women and non-binary individuals by closing the technology gap at work and changing who defines & leads the conversation around innovative technology, starting with generative AI. Our vision is to empower underrepresented groups, particularly women, to lead in the AI landscape by fostering learning, experimentation, and economic opportunities.
3. Community Values
We are committed to fostering a community that embodies the following values:
1. Learn-by-doing
Working at the frontier of what’s possible with generative AI means getting into the weeds and actually experimenting with different tools to really understand what is & isn’t possible.
Why: Too often women are the ones who are waiting for the best practices to be published, or we tell ourselves that “we’re too busy with other things to carve out time to learn”. But experimenting can be as quick as a 90 second ChatGPT prompt. And we promise you’ll learn more about the quality of AI tech in those 90 seconds, than in any blog article you’ll read.
2. Unyielding Curiosity
We embrace relentless learning and encourage each other and ourselves to dive in, ASK QUESTIONS (no question is a bad one), and share openly in a default-to-public-channel manner to inspire the women around you about what’s possible
Why: We have to fail and share that we might not know an answer to something, to create a space where everyone (from beginner to expert) can feel like tackling something as new (or scary) as AI can be possible.*
3. Fierce Ambitions
We’re not here to keep the status quo going, to keep telling ourselves we are “not the expert” or “not technical enough”. Together, we’re here to shake things up and redefine traditional boundaries of what’s possible.
Why: We aim to make waves in the AI landscape… enough said.
4. Unwavering Support
We actively strive to be allies and supporters in the pursuit of each individual’s goals and aspirations. We recognize that our strength lies in lifting each other up, offering guidance, encouragement, and assistance to each other.
A rising tide lifts all boats — but let’s together, create that rising tide (for this community, and for the women outside of this community).
4. Community Guidelines
To maintain a positive and productive community, members must adhere to the following guidelines:
1. Be kind, be helpful, and be respectful.
You are some of the most incredible women we know, with so much expertise and experience to share with each other. We are only successful if we treat others the way we always want to be treated, but also, if we assume best intent from the people around us.
2. Do not spam anyone.
This community’s primary goal is learning, not as a channel to sell services or products. Do not spam DM members about your product, your services, or related acts. Related, do not share each other’s contact information without asking first!
We know we all have a range of projects and goals within this community, whether that’s building the next AI company or creating thought leadership outside of this space. We want to balance being your support crew with creating a safe and engaging space, so we’ve created channels like `#amplify` and `#events` to help you promote your stuff! We just ask that you don’t post your services or products into our default or main channels (e.g. `#general`)
3. Do not repost internal community-generated content.
Please don’t do this without both checking-in with the person who posted or created it, and ensuring that you credit the member in your external share. If you aren’t sure, just ask! 100% do not screenshot community messages as-is to repost externally.
Being a member of this community means you have access to the private and on-going discourse of various things in the AI/tech world, and the growing set of community-generated resources in our Notion page and Slack channels. Please respect that these are member contributions to this group, and be thoughtful about how to use that (especially externally).
Community-generated specifically refers to content or thought leadership (like commentary) created by members here, and does not refer to the articles or links that members are frequently sharing across our channels.
This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of this representation include project email addresses, posts via an official social media account, or acting as appointed representative at an online or offline event. Ie, all email, Instagram, LinkedIn communication falls under Code of Conduct, along with other forums where you are representing this community (e.g. conferences and other types of events)!
