I don't see how you plan on targeting diversity within AI by hosting classes in a concrete location (that too in the US). You want diversity? Send your employees abroad to 3rd world countries. I lead a university society in Pakistan that focuses on raising awareness and expertise in AI. We're in dire need of mentors and experts.

&gt; guess what the diversity stats of the Google Brain team is? It is ~94% male with 44 men and just 3 women and over 70% White.<p>She has a point complaining about the 94% males, but as the US is 72.4% white, I don&#x27;t see what&#x27;s wrong with &quot;over 70% White&quot;.<p>&gt; just 3% of Google’s technical employees are Black or Latino<p>Heh, Asians are once again not diverse enough to even mention.
