AI is at risk of bias due to serious gender gap problem
AI needs to be created by a diverse range of developers to prevent bias, but the World Economic Forum (WEF) has found a serious gender gap. Gender gaps in STEM careers have been a problem for some time, but it's not often the end product matters what gender it was developed by. AI is about to be everywhere, and it matters that it's representative of those it serves. "The equal contribution of women and men in this process of deep economic and societal transformation is critical. More than ever, societies cannot afford to lose out on the skills, ideas and perspectives of half of humanity to realize the promise of a more prosperous and humancentric future that well-governed innovation and technology can bring." Shockingly, the WEF report found less than one-fourth of roles in the industry are being filled by women.
