Women In Tech Summit

Start your morning at the networking breakfast. Connect with fellow attendees, exchange ideas, and build meaningful professional relationships.

Beka Skrzyniarz, Director of Finance at the MSU Research Foundation, will kick off the event with opening remarks, setting the stage for a dynamic and engaging summit.

For centuries, our workplaces, products, and financial systems have been shaped by a narrow group. Now, as we enter the AI era—projected to drive over $2T by 2032—we must ensure this digital future is inclusive. AI’s growth is dominated by a select few, but we all have a role in shaping it. Join Shubhi Rao, founder of Uplevyl, to learn how unbiased generative AI can advance inclusive leadership and drive change.

Artificial Intelligence is improving healthcare by enhancing patient care, supporting clinicians, and optimizing insurance processes. AI enables personalized treatment, increases safety, and expands access to care. In ICU settings, AI-driven systems have contributed to an 85% survival rate in mechanical ventilation management. Collaborations, such as work with Henry Ford Hospital, demonstrate how AI, including Large Language Models, enhances radiology workflows and clinical decision-making. For clinicians, AI serves as a powerful tool to streamline workflows and augment expertise, while insurers benefit from improved risk assessment and operational efficiency.

This session highlights real-world applications of AI, emphasizing its role in enhancing—not replacing—human expertise to create a more precise, efficient, and patient-centered healthcare system.
