According to the “Global Gender Gap Report,” a 2021 World Economic Forum study, women represent just 26% of the global Artificial Intelligence workforce.

Because AI systems reflect the biases of those who design it, there is a critical need for more women to drive the research, creation and deployment of AI to mitigate potential algorithmic bias.

Engaging women as equal partners in shaping the future of AI has the power to positively impact automation’s future. In March, IBM recognized 40 exceptional female leaders across 26 countries who are driving the adoption of AI in business. Read about the achievements and contributions of this year’s honorees here.
