As we celebrate Women's History Month, the integral role of women in shaping governance, particularly in areas like artificial intelligence, comes to the forefront. With AI rapidly transforming socio-economic landscapes, cities are strategically positioned to mold policies that will define technological impacts on society. However, the stark reality remains that women are significantly underrepresented in AI fields, holding only 22% of the talent and less than 14% in senior roles. This imbalance leads to systemic issues such as AI-driven hiring biases and healthcare diagnostics that overlook women's unique health concerns. Greater inclusion of women in these discussions is essential for equitable decision-making.
Cities like New York, Freetown, and Barcelona are leading the call for a more inclusive approach to governance, emphasizing the necessity of women's voices in the AI dialogue.
Without women at the table, artificial intelligence does not just stumble—it betrays half the world, underscoring the critical need for diversity in AI development.
