London, UK – 24 February 2024 – Teens in AI, an initiative focused on inspiring teens to explore a future in tech and AI through collaborative, hands-on learning experiences, has joined forces with Capgemini. Capgemini is a global leader in partnering with companies to transform and manage their business by harnessing the power of technology. Together, they are collaborating on the Teens in Action Forum, a flagship programme delivered by Teens in AI. Both organisations share a common goal in leveraging technology to build an equitable world where every individual has an equal chance to unlock their potential, fostering innovation and generating positive societal change.
Teens in Action is a unique online platform where global tech and AI leaders empower and engage young minds in thought-provoking conversations and discussions centred around AI-based topics. It is delivered virtually in webinar format. The Teens in AI mission is to inspire the next generation of leaders to take charge and make a positive impact on the world. Having already delivered one in the partnership series, with Capgemini’s support, we are providing youth with the tools and resources they need to drive innovation and make a difference in their communities.
Sergey Patsko, EVP, Data & AI Group Offer Leader at Capgemini comments: “As a leader in Data & AI, we are proud to partner with Teens in AI, for the third year in a row, to inspire and empower the next generation of tech innovators. Our long-term collaboration with Teens in AI underscores our commitment to fostering diversity, inclusion, and ethical AI practices. In the era of Generative AI, it is crucial to prioritize ethical considerations to ensure that AI development is responsible and beneficial for all. By supporting Teens in AI, we are shaping a future where AI serves as a force for good, driving positive social impact and innovation.”
The Teens in Action events delivered in partnership with Capgemini, will explore the critical issues surrounding Generative AI, AI Ethics, and Diversity. This collaboration aims to foster discussions among teens on how AI can be leveraged responsibly to create inclusive solutions. Central to the programme is the theme of ‘building trust using AI’, a key value for both Teens in AI and Capgemini, as we work together to encourage ethical AI development and promote diverse perspectives in the tech industry.
Teens in AI Founder and CEO, Elena Sinel, adds: “At Teens in AI, we believe that the future of technology must be rooted in ethics, inclusivity, and trust. Our partnership with Capgemini for the Teens in Action Forum gives young people from all walks of life the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations around AI ethics, generative AI, and Diversity, while encouraging them to think critically about how AI can be used responsibly to build a better, more inclusive world. Together, we aim to inspire the next generation of innovators to prioritise ethical considerations and diverse perspectives in shaping the future of AI.”
Young people from around the world will have the chance to engage with Capgemini experts on these key themes. The programme not only equips teenagers with essential technical knowledge but also emphasises the importance of diverse perspectives in driving innovation and addressing today’s complex challenges. To date, 58% of participants in the Action Forum have identified as female or non-binary, highlighting our dedication to building inclusive environments that inspire creativity and drive meaningful solutions.
