With the Fourth of July holiday, this work week was much shorter than the rest. During this week, I focused on starting and completing the first draft of my AI Bias Prevention Handbook. The drafting process proved to be challenging at times as I was not always sure what the best way was to present topics. The most difficult part, though, was finding the balance of simplifying complex computer terms while maintaining the necessary level of detail for the process. However, I was able to finish it on time and am quite proud of the result. I have submitted the draft to my project manager and am now waiting for feedback and comments from her and my coworker, which I will address during my last week.

Outside of my final deliverable, I have been collaborating with another intern (whose thesis focused on gender stereotypes in AI algorithms) on applying to present at the Data Day conference in Monterrey, Mexico on November 5. Our project manager informed us about this opportunity, as several other Data-Pop Alliance employees are also planning to apply to speak; she suggested we combine our research findings and co-present on the topic of gender bias in large language models (LLMs) and strategies to mitigate this bias. I was thrilled to hear about this event and the potential chance to present at a conference. Let's hope our application gets accepted!

I can't believe that I am already at the end of my internship, but I am excited to make the most out of my remaining time here.
