Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu has announced her support for SAWiT.AI, the world’s largest women-only Generative AI Learning Challenge. Scheduled for September 21, the event aims to equip 500,000 Indian women with foundational skills in generative AI through hands-on training with leading AI tools. “On 21st September, 500,000 Indian women will gain foundational Gen AI skills through hands-on experience with leading AI tools. If you’re as fascinated by tech as I am, then SAWiT.AI is the right place for you to build your skill and feed your curiosity,” Prabhu said in an Instagram post. Interestingly, her promo video is also made using generative AI. SAWiT.AI, organized by the SAWiT network, is focused on empowering women participants with practical skills in generative AI. The initiative seeks to create a global narrative positioning Indian women as leaders in the development of AI technology for positive impact. It is a collaborative effort between SAWiT (South Asian Women in Tech) and GUVI, an ed-tech startup incubated by IIT Madras. In her statement, Prabhu encouraged women interested in technology to participate, emphasising the broader goal of breaking barriers and shaping the future of AI. She also challenged others to celebrate women who inspire by overcoming challenges in their daily lives. Prabhu highlighted that SAWiT.AI is not just about learning tech skills but about changing the future. The initiative plans to hand 500,000 Indian women the tools to lead in the ongoing generative AI revolution. Prabhu urged others to join the movement, reinforcing the idea of building a future where Indian women are at the forefront of the technology revolution. The initiative will provide hands-on experience with leading AI tools, supported by a distinguished advisory council that includes Roshni Nadar Malhotra, Chairperson of HCL Tech  and women’s empowerment advocate, and Farzana Haque, a Senior Leader at Tata Consultancy Services. The SAWiT.AI initiative comprises three main events: SAWiT.AI Learnathon (September 21, 2024): A hands-on learning experience in Generative AI.
