At the Computer Weekly diversity in tech event, the consensus was clear: collaboration is essential for promoting diversity within the technology industry. Attendees emphasized the need to actively create opportunities for underrepresented groups and discussed the significant imbalance between the number of women using and developing AI. This disparity can lead to biases in AI systems, highlighting the importance of ensuring that the tech workforce reflects the diversity of its users to create suitable and inclusive technology for all people.
It is important to actively create opportunities for underrepresented groups to join the tech sector if we are to make the industry a more diverse place.
People working in the IT sector need to be proactive in ensuring the tech workforce reflects tech users.
There is an imbalance between the number of women using AI and the number of women developing AI, which is contributing towards AI bias and tech that isn't suitable for all of its users.
Only by working together can we create a truly diverse and inclusive industry.
