Women In Tech Regatta’s Post

Mexico is one of the countries with the most #AI users in the world! But also… look at an important #gender AI gap. Only 30.5% of users are #women. Every technological innovation in the #digital space has come with a gender divide, because many applications, content, services or devices are not inclusive by design. They do not respond to women needs, preferences and circumstances. Some of them even discriminate or allow gendered violence. AI can help to bridge divides, but we need to be deliberate in building ethical, inclusive, responsible artificial intelligence. #ethicalAI

To anyone interested in or working on online gender-based violence, deepfake tech and policy, or human rights at large, please consider submitting a public comment to the META Oversight Board's cases on posts depicting AI-generated nude photos of women. A central part of the Board’s decision-making process is reviewing public comments submitted by key stakeholders including human rights activists, researchers, political analysts, and interested organizations. These comments will provide the necessary insights to empower Board members in making well-informed decisions and recommendations regarding this case.

The unprecedented growth in the use of #AI is rapidly changing the skills needed to thrive in the labor market. In this context, there’s an emerging #gender divide in the access, use, and participation of women in AI – for instance, according to Pew Research Center, a greater share of women’s jobs will be impacted by AI. If AI skills are the future, how can we ensure economic opportunities are gender inclusive? This blog reviews the main barriers in the access and use of AI and proposes key recommendations to work towards a future where the voices of girls and women are contributing to shaping the AI revolution: https://lnkd.in/ggQ6ZzXH Authors: Maria Barron and Ekua Bentil #aijobs #womeninstem #gender #jobmarket #futureofwork

I had the opportunity to express my views and chair a session at the Virtual Summit on Gender, Data and Technology, hosted by MNLU, Mumbai. The summit had speakers working at the forefront of Law, Technology and related issues. I highlighted the issue of Gender bias and discrimination in light of emerging technologies like AI, Metaverse and a need for a holistic approach to address it. I am thankful to the organizers for the invitation. #JGLS #mnlu #artificialintelligence #data #gender #metaverse #aibias #algorithmicbias

Where are the Black tech execs? The Latina academics? The Indigenous AI ethicists? The LGBTQ+ startup leaders? The Asian Indian engineers? Their voices are missing in the key talks around AI policy. Shout out to Jorge M. Calderon for recently calling attention to the lack of diversity and inclusion in conversations around AI policy and regulation. While he focused on Latinx/e folks specifically, Jorge recognized other underrepresented groups need a seat at the table too. https://lnkd.in/enZM7ZrZ The published photo with President Biden's meeting ith leaders from Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI exemplifies the lack of diversity in these discussions. As important as their expertise is, the group was overwhelmingly white men. Leaving out these diverse perspectives now is short-sighted when AI will shape our shared future. So it's crucial that diverse communities have a seat at the table to share their insights and help craft balanced policies. As an advocate for equity, I agree diversity and inclusion can't be an afterthought when dealing with transformative technologies like AI. I'm talking Black, Indigenous, women, LGBTQIA+, disabled, and other overlooked communities. #AIDiversity #InclusiveAI #RepresentationMatters #DiversityInTech #WomenInAI #EquityInAI #EthicalAI #NoBiasInAI #balancedAI #FutureOfAI #AIPolicy #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs
