Code First Girls Podcast
Code First Girls is on a mission to close the gender gap in the tech industry by providing employment through free education. We’ve already helped more than 200,000 women learn to code and by working with companies globally, we’re boosting employability, diversity and social mobility, transforming local economies and communities. Our #REPRESENT podcast was launched to give our community role models of women and non-binary people who are killing it in the world of tech. We want our community to hear from women like themselves represented in top positions, inspiring them to push their careers and aspire to leadership positions once they've got their foot in the door.

Ep 5 - Machine Learning vs Artificial Intelligence w/ Manisha Mistry, Rolls-Royce R² Data Labs
While we're pretty sure that artificial intelligence isn't going to lead to a Terminator-style apocalypse, a lot of people have a lot of questions. What is AI? What is machine learning? What's the difference between them, and can you use the terms interchangeably? To answer these questions and give some insight on how industry is building and applying these systems we are joined by Manisha Mistry, Portfolio Director Digital Culture and Collaboration at R2 Data Labs, a part of Rolls-Royce.
Manisha's book recommendations are:
- Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado-Perez
- Pattern Recognition And Machine Learning by Christopher Bishop
- Speech And Language Processing by Daniel Jurafsky and James H. Martin (Stanford University has published a free pdf of the latest draft, access it free at the link in the title!)
