'What Happens if the Future of AI isn't Female?' AI is the fastest-growing sector in the history of mankind. By some estimates, AI will account for more than $2 trillion of our economy just in the next few years alone. However, today, under 18% of software developers in the AI space are women and so the development and application of this new AI world is predominantly in the hands of men. And, historically when products and services were made by men, they were designed with men in mind. Our workplaces, our products, our services, our technology, our roles in society, and much more, have been predominantly male-oriented and naturally did not directly address or reflect the specific needs of women. That reality led to the creation of several significant societal gaps. Join us on October 16th for an insightful webinar, 'What happens if the future of AI isn't female?' In this thought-provoking session, we'll explore some of the most pressing issues in the world of technology today, including: How to close the gender gap in STEM. What it means for organizations and society if women are excluded from the rapidly growing field of AI. And much more. Our speakers will discuss actionable strategies to prevent gender bias in AI and share their vision for fixing technology to ensure more women rise to leadership positions.

The gender gap in AI/ML is a serious issue that affects innovation and fairness. With less than 22% of AI professionals being women, we're missing out on diverse perspectives that could shape more inclusive technologies. It's time for women to take up space in AI/ML roles, conferences, and leadership positions. If you love working with data, AI/ML might just be the next step for you. #WomenInTech #AI #ML #DiversityInTech

Senior women in Tech are ahead of men in adopting GenAI! 🔗 Surprising because women have historically been less likely to adopt new technologies than men have. ⁉️ So, what explains the gender differences in GenAI adoption? 3️⃣ Key attributes are driving this surprising trend: ✅ Awareness of GenAI’s criticality for future job success. It makes our lives easier and removes friction. We see the transformational potential. ✅ Confidence in GenAI skills. We’re used to juggling multiple responsibilities in our personal lives, so multimodal is highly intuitive. ✅ Tolerance for risk when GenAI policy is unclear. The ROI of GenAI SaaS solutions is mind-blowing. 🧨 GenAI has the potential to finally close the gender gap! Let’s Go Girls! Jennifer Ryan Galantowicz Noelle R.

The world of artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving, and it’s crucial that women are not left behind in this transformative space. By fostering inclusive environments and providing the support necessary for women to excel in tech, we can close the AI gender gap and unlock endless possibilities for all. 💡 Read more about how we can bridge the gender gap in AI: https://lnkd.in/e-HdmWwV

A recent Boston Consulting Group (BCG) study revealed a fascinating trend: women in tech are rapidly adopting generative AI tools. The article explores the reasons behind this shift and its potential impact on the tech industry. Could those tools be a key driver for closing the gender gap in tech leadership? https://ow.ly/aUr750SsLR2 #GenAI #WomenInTech #Leadership #Innovation

Empowering Women in AI Engineering 🚀 The latest World Economic Forum report reveals that female representation in AI engineering has doubled since 2016 but still stands at a mere 0.20%. This underscores a pressing need for more women to enter and lead in the AI field. https://lnkd.in/dgFQ8YaQ Recent incidents, like the AI-manipulated image of a female politician, highlight the importance of diverse perspectives in tech development. As Silja Baller from the WEF rightly points out, “There should be equal opportunity to contribute to designing our future.” We should collectively recognize the critical role of diverse voices in shaping AI in Tech Industry and foster an inclusive environment that supports and encourages women in tech roles. By ensuring women are at the forefront of AI development, we can build more equitable and innovative solutions that benefit everyone. Together, let's drive change and make the tech industry a place where all talents can thrive. 💡 #AI #GenderEquality #STEM #Diversity #Inclusion #WomenInTech #FutureOfWork #TechInnovation 🌐 

A recent eye-opening article by The New York Times highlighted the pioneers of the modern AI movement, but something critical was missing – the representation of women. Notably, top women in AI like Dr Fei-Fei Li, one of Stanford University’s most influential tech and AI professors, were absent, a stark reminder of the gender gap in AI. The issue goes beyond just a list. The data reveals a concerning trend: in 2021, only 21.3% of AI Ph.D. graduates in North America were women, and women hold less than a third of AI roles in US tech companies. This isn't just about numbers; it's about the diverse perspectives and ideas we're missing in one of the most influential fields of our time.

At Kearney, we love a good panel discussion and the Women@Digital session on #AI last week is the perfect example of why! Kearney Partners Ramyani Basu and Rob Van Dale were joined by Alena Placha, MEA Chapter Lead for She Loves Data, as they shared their invaluable insights and expertise on the transformative role of AI in our lives as Dr. Scott Nowson moderated. Key areas of discussion included: - AI: the recent surge in AI investment and whether it's a lasting transformation or a speculative bubble. - Ethical AI: the importance of ethical principles in AI deployment and the critical issue of bias in AI systems. Diversity, especially through the inclusion of more women, enhances the ethical use of AI by bringing varied perspectives and experiences that can mitigate bias and promote fairness.  - AI & Gender Dynamics: AI is reshaping traditional roles at work, especially for #womenintech. With women significantly underrepresented in the global AI workforce and in leadership positions, the conversation about gender representation in this space is more important than ever. We look forward to continuing to drive the momentum for women in #technology and #digitaltransformation!
