Diverse AI teams = smarter tech! Meet the women revolutionizing AI across industries.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing economies, civilizations, and industries in real time; it is no longer a sci-fi idea. The World Economic Forum (WEF) states that only a small percentage of global AI experts are women, despite AI being a significant part of our daily lives. This disparity is not only a diversity problem; it is also a moral and financial need.
The “Inspire Inclusion” theme for International Women’s Day highlights the significance of diverse perspectives in AI. To make sure that technology benefits everyone, not just a select few, women in AI are spearheading important conversations on cybersecurity, ethical governance, financial security, and AI-driven corporate change.
