In The Community Technology Awareness Day - BNSF

Technology Awareness Day

 

 

BNSF's Technology Awareness Day is part of the National Black Family Technology Awareness Week. The national campaign was started by IBM, and aims to "promote significant minority achievement in engineering, science and technology." Corporate-sponsored events are held nationally during a week in February.

This year’s event will take place February 8th, 2025 as a in-person event (we are no longer hosting a virtual component). Our theme this year is Authenticity in AI.

This event aims to educate youths about careers in the technology field and challenges attendees to design and develop their own technological solutions that are judged at the event.

BNSF leaders hope you can join us for the event in 2025!

Authenticity in AI means making sure that the artificial intelligence system behaves in a way that is fair, honest, and follows ethical standards. This involves using unbiased data to train the AI, being transparent about how decisions are made, and protecting user privacy. Authenticity in AI also calls for maintaining ethical standards and protecting user data. By prioritizing authenticity in AI development and implementation, we can help ensure that these systems benefit society in positive ways and align with our shared values and goals.
