AUT’s vision is to enrich lives and create a better world through technology, learning and discovery.
Grappling with technology such as AI and how to get the best from the opportunities it creates is top of mind for many, and AUT strives to be a place where people and ideas can meet.
You are invited to a series of free public events as part of the AUT Technology in Society Series.
What's on?
A conversation between Vice-Chancellor Damon Salesa and women in tech advocate, educator, and GenAI expert Vicky Enkhsaikhan.
The unique possibilities technology presents for indigenous communities is at the heart of Vicky Enkhsaikhan’s journey from a nomadic childhood in the Gobi Desert to becoming the co-founder of the Empasoft Institute of Technology in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
Vicky has witnessed and supported the use of GenAI and other technologies by local software companies to protect and further her language and culture, while advocating for women in tech and providing access to education in her home country and beyond.
Refreshments will be served, and a cash bar will be available.
