Lolita Taub is a force of nature - or perhaps more accurately, a force in technology. Growing up, she was told "tech is not for girls," and in recent years, "VC is not for women." However, these comments only further drove Taub to demonstrate that women, in fact, belong everywhere. Taub recently joined the Catalyte team as Chief of Staff. Catalyte uses artificial intelligence to identify individuals, regardless of background, who have the innate potential and cognitive ability to be great software developers - which is perfectly aligned with Taub's vision of a world "where tech is pioneered by the diversity of our population." I spoke with Taub about her work in AI, commitment to diversity in technology and how AI is already impacting the way we work.

In 2011, entrepreneur and investor Marc Andreessen wrote his famous,"Why Software Is Eating the World" in the Wall Street Journal. Today, that story would more likely read, "Why Artificial Intelligence Is Eating the World." The market for artificial intelligence (AI) technologies-- from voice and image recognition to chat bots to self-driving cars-- is hot. A Narrative Science survey found last year that 38% of enterprises are already using AI, and that number will grow to 62% by 2018. Like the tech industry at large, the field of artificial Intelligence is dominated by white men.
