\u201cThe event was born to put women in leadership roles, in decision-making roles,\u201d WAHI president Claudia Yazigi Haddad said after attending debates on the first day of the event. Held at Expo Center Norte, the Summit is featuring 100 speakers covering topics including technology, artificial intelligence, science, healthcare, education, art, culture, justice, safety, infrastructure, entrepreneurship, and sports, while constantly focusing on broadening female participation in multiple fronts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Claudia attended panels on Artificial Intelligence (IA), as the world discusses how this technology will impact professions. \u201cIn medicine, AI will be able to review test results much more accurately. It will be able to diagnose cancer five years before symptoms appear. The chance of cure is much higher,\u201d she says, based on information from the Summit. \u201cBut AI only works when corporate data is well structured,\u201d she adds, noting that not everyone should be replaced by AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Summit is primarily meant to discuss the future of labor, of leadership, and of Brazil\u2019s economy, and 10,000 participants are expected on August 4 and 5. During the event, Luiza Trajano discussed the advances made thus far in female participation in society, while emphasizing the goal of driving that even further until women have filled 50% of leadership roles. She said the Summit is a great movement to achieve that goal in Brazil in a four-year timespan.<\/p>\n\n\n

WAHI is partners with the Women from Brazil Group, and it works within the scope of the Arab Chamber to connect businesswomen from Brazil and the Arab countries. The committee cooperates with Brazilian women\u2019s groups such as Women from Brazil to facilitate the sharing of experiences by Brazilian and Arab women. \u201cIt\u2019s important for us to join the debates involving women here in Brazil so that together, we may have more women in decision-making and leadership roles, and so that we can share our reality, our challenges, and our achievements with businesswomen and professionals in Arab countries,\u201d said Claudia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women, science, and academic career.\u201d The event is expected to become a premier Brazilian forum on female presence in the labor market, bringing together businesses, professionals, students, and organizations committed to a sustainable inclusion- and innovation-driven agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
