“If we do not share our stories and shine a light on inequities, things will not change.” – Ellen Pao.
Women have made remarkable contributions to artificial intelligence, and technology as a whole. According to Louisa Zhou, women only represent 33% of the tech-related workforce.
Women still face significant barriers, including gender bias, limited access to opportunities, and delaying careers to care for families.
Views of Prominent Women in Tech
Karen Sparck Jones, Professor at Cambridge Computer Laboratory
“I think it’s very important to get more women into computing. My slogan is: Computing is too important to be left to men.”
Erin Teague, Director of Product Management at YouTube
“Recognize and embrace your uniqueness…being a black woman, being a woman in general, on a team of all men, means that you are going to have a unique voice. It’s important to embrace that.”
Anna Radulovski, Founder & CEO at WomenTech Network
“To create a more diverse and inclusive tech world, we need to inspire and empower the next generation of female role models to pursue and develop their careers in technology and become innovators, leaders and entrepreneurs. It’s a process and it’s not always straightforward. It takes time, action and support.
