AI for Social Impact and Human Flourishing

AI Women Showcase – Oslo

A Stage for Women Building the Future of Tech and AI

We’re hosting the 6th AI Women Showcase in Oslo, a space designed for women to step forward, share ideas, and grow through real conversations.

This is not a demo day. No competition. No pressure to be perfect. Just a room full of people who believe that ideas get stronger when they are shared early.

We bring together founders, students, investors, and ecosystem builders for one purpose: To turn ideas into momentum.

What does it mean to be an AI-native human?

Between meta-crisis anxiety and digital utopianism, where is the middle path? How can technology best support the flourishing of people, culture, and nature?

Drawing from decades of leadership in systems thinking, art and design ventures, cultural innovation, and emerging technologies, Yanling will share insights from her forthcoming book The Art of Presence and showcase selected projects from the global HeARTech ecosystem, developed through collaborations since Davos 2019.
