In this powerful first episode of AI to the Rescue, host Nathan Chung sits down with Stacy Tatem — global ambassador for Responsible AI, tech industry leader, and founding member of Empressa AI, the women-built platform tackling AI bias and delivering equitable, women-centric mentorship. Together, they unpack the future of ethical AI, why intentional design matters, and how building for the most vulnerable leads to safer, smarter, more human-centered technology.

Stacy shares the origin story behind Empressa AI, the alarming statistics about women in AI leadership, and how their Imperial Council and community-driven testing model creates more relevant, more trustworthy AI systems. She also breaks down the real barriers women face in AI adoption — and why women’s skepticism is actually a superpower for building better tech.

Whether you’re an AI builder, policymaker, educator, or someone curious about how AI is reshaping society, this episode delivers essential insights on AI governance, bias mitigation, AI education, and the cultural shift needed to embed ethics into every stage of the product lifecycle — from ideation to launch.
