As a male leader, I believe that a major step toward closing the gap on gender inequality is for men to fight for women in the workplace. I must say, while I have thought extensively about the varying nuances around AI, the fact that a machine would be gender biased did not come to mind. This article from UN Women was a fascinating read about the first step in removing gender bias in AI is to make removing gender bias in society a goal. #AI #Leadership #FemaleLeaders #EmpoweringWomen

🌟 Generative AI is at a turning point in shaping the future of leadership. It has the power to help more women step into leadership roles across industries. Right now, only 22% of AI professionals are women, highlighting the need for change. But Generative AI can help break down barriers by automating tasks and offering more flexible work options, making it easier for women to rise into leadership. As AI transforms our world, it's essential to build inclusivity into its framework. We need to push for systems that support gender equality and create opportunities for diverse leadership. The future of AI can be one where women lead the way. Let’s make this a reality! https://lnkd.in/eYJbMZGE

🔔Just 2️⃣ days before our Women For Ethical AI #W4EAI conference at UNESCO in Paris❗️ Please join us from around the world to discuss about everything #gender & #ArtificialIntelligence, including: ✅Our "Gender Outlook" that, among other issues, examines national #AI policies from a gender perspective. ✅What data exists, what data we need, and how to move forward to a) respond to data bias, and b) monitor gender equality in the #AIEcosystem. ✅What measures should be taken to advance towards equality in accessing funding for startups in the tech sector.
