00:00So first of all, about this Godmother of AI title,
00:04it came around, I don't know, a year ago.
00:07I start seeing that.
00:08I had to take a pause because it really is not my personality
00:12to call myself godmother of anything.
00:16It really, I did cringe.
00:20But I had to, you know, my natural reaction
00:23is let's just reject this.
00:24I don't want this title.
00:27But I really had to take a pause and realize
00:30in the entire history of science and technology,
00:34so many men are called whatever, founding fathers, godfathers.
00:40And if women are so readily rejecting that title,
00:45where's our voice?
