Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are much more than just a simple buzzword. DEI includes everyone and fully encompasses important traits such as gender, background, disability, and any other characteristic that may help uniquely represent an individual’s identity.

What’s driving it is more and more data being generated as people interact with each other, and increasingly so in different ways.

The words are written in simple font on a sheet of paper that’s stuck to a rear upstairs wall of their industrial two-story workspace, where they’ve been working out of since September 2018. What they’re doing here with artificial intelligence, however, isn’t simple at all.

It has been observed that it was one of the oldest science on earth, even there are the myths of Mechanical men in Ancient Greek and Egyptian Myths. Now AI has evolved to be much more advanced and a lot of time is spent on research for making AI work on a high level. AI is not just about programs and computers but it’s a complex science that involves many different disciplines like computer science, math, statistics etc.
