Women in tech: Will AI fix gender disparity? - Clickatell

There's little doubt that the tech industry, like many industries, has unequal representation when it comes to gender. This has enormous impact across a range of areas, deeply affecting people's lives based on unconscious assumptions society should have moved away from. Melinda Gates noted at this year's Code Conference: "When I graduated 34% of undergraduates in computer science were women… we're now down to 17%." While the tech industry is building 3D printers and electric cars, it still hasn't built bridges for equal representation. As experts have noted, it's too easy to blame an absence of women or women having no interest in tech.
