Emerging Growth Opportunities for Women in AI: Insights from Fem.AI 2024 The tech world is buzzing about the first Fem.AI conference, held in Menlo Park and sponsored by the Cadence Giving Foundation. The event focused on closing gender gaps in AI, highlighting the power of women in shaping the industry. Bernard Murphy, from Cadence, reflects on key insights he gathered on fostering female talent in AI and making tech more inclusive. Key Takeaways: Murphy notes that representation is key: while male and female professionals bring unique strengths to AI, women are underrepresented in tech. The event featured impactful role models and explored solutions to keep women in the pipeline, like mentorship programs, blended CS majors, and industry collaborations. Leaders stressed that women often thrive in impact-driven roles, a strength aligning with the next wave in AI – building tech to solve real-world challenges. The conference saw discussions from heavy-hitters like Dr. Joy Buolamwini, emphasizing the importance of fair and accurate AI, and VC panels predicting a shift toward problem-focused AI solutions. Bernard Murphy's perspective emphasizes a “problem-centric” future for AI where women can lead and drive meaningful change. The Fem.AI conference underscored the importance of increasing women's representation in AI—not just for equity but for innovation and growth in the tech sector. 🔗 Read more about the conference (link in the comment section) Source: Bernard Murphy, Cadence EDA SemiWiki.com #WomenInTech #AI #Cadence #FemAI #GenerativeAI #TechDiversity #InclusionInTech #WomenInAI #VentureCapital Stay updated!

The widespread adoption of Generative AI in the workplace is levelling the playing field for women in the technology sector. BCG’s findings reveal that 68% of women in tech report using GenAI tools more than once a week, compared to 66% of men, highlighting that women are not only keeping pace but sometimes surpassing men in GenAI adoption. This trend is especially evident among senior women in tech roles such as engineering, IT, customer support, sales, and marketing.

As a woman in AIEd, it breaks my heart to see how few women faculty and business leaders are stepping up to share their journeys with generative AI. Meanwhile, I see many men diving in, sometimes without deep technical knowledge, but with the confidence to participate and shape the conversation. We’re at the dawn of a new AI era, and it’s so important that we, as women, don’t let the inequalities that have held us back in other fields take root here as well. This is our chance to make a mark and to ensure our voices are not just heard but are driving the change we want to see. Let’s rise together and show the world that our perspectives are invaluable. Let’s make sure that in the future, we don’t need special days or hashtags to celebrate “Women in AI” because our presence and contributions must be showcased by us just as front & center right from the beginning. Let’s seize this moment and make it count! #AI #WomenInTech #AIEducation #BreakingBarriers #GenerativeAI

The future is shaped by data and AI, and with women comprising only a quarter of these roles globally, we're missing out on a massive wellspring of talent. This lack of diversity can lead to data bias which can potentially skew algorithms. But here's the inspiring part; there's immense potential for positive change! By actively encouraging and supporting women in STEM fields, particularly data science and AI, we can unlock a new era of innovation and ensure a more inclusive future shaped by diverse perspectives. Are we doing enough? Let's spark a conversation! Share your thoughts in the comments on how we can bridge this #gendergap and ensure women are a driving force in the AI revolution. #womenintech #diversityintech #breakthebias #equalityforall

Did you know that, in 2020, women made up only 26% of data and AI positions in the workforce? Despite the odds, many women in technology continue to break barriers and introduce their work and perspectives to the world. One of these trailblazing women who has contributed greatly to the realm of Artificial Intelligence is Dr. Fei-Fei Li. In our newest blog series, we will highlight different women in technology that serve as inspirations for others. Visit sednacg.com/blog tomorrow to learn more about Dr. Li and her journey. #WomeninTech #WomeninTechnology #WomeninBusiness #WomeninSTEM #WomenEmpowerment #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #Technology

Boston Consulting Group is suggesting that the widespread adoption of Generative AI in the workplace could help to level the playing field for women in the tech sector. They found that slightly more women than men reported using GenAI tools more than once a week, which suggests that women are surpassing men in GenAI adoption – with women in senior tech roles leading the way. BCG argues that women in tech have a real opportunity to 'position themselves to play a part in the advancement of critical innovation. What I'd add is twofold: first, that greater involvement of women in AI is also absolutely vital to eliminating bias, and that second, the responsibility of involving women more in AI is not just the responsibility of women, but of those in positions of power and influence across the tech sector, most of whom are men.

Coming from Vietnam and transitioning into a stay-at-home mom for several years posed significant challenges when I decided to re-enter the workforce. Securing a job in the tech industry felt like a distant dream. One of the first hurdles was my resume. It often didn't make it past the job matching algorithms, leaving me frustrated and discouraged. Additionally, I constantly grappled with the question: how can the skills I honed as a full-time mom translate to professional work? Sometimes I ask, why should women be penalized for choosing to give birth and/or choosing to be stay-at-home moms? I chose to stay at home; I declined an opportunity to work for a corporation back in 2011 because I thought I was not ready to leave my tiny youngster for a whole day. I faced some consequences for that choice, but I never regret it. Here I am today, step by step building my skills and my identity. While I understand the importance of networking and self-advocacy, I realized that the journey is undeniably smoother with the right support and allyship. This realization led me to seek out communities that could provide that essential support. I am incredibly proud to be a member of the Seattle Women in Tech Consortium. This community, built by passionate volunteers, is dedicated to making a tangible impact in the Seattle area. Our mission is to position Seattle as a hub for women in technology. By collaborating with existing women in tech groups, we aim to foster connections, provide support, and create job opportunities, ultimately building a strong and supportive community. This month, I have the honor of facilitating the webinar "Women Leaders in Tech are Paving the Way in GenAI." This event will delve into the crucial topic of the gender gap in the tech industry and the adoption of AI. It is a subject that is close to my heart, and I am thrilled to engage in this important conversation. I invite you to join us for this insightful webinar and become part of our growing community by visiting www.seattlewomenintech.org. Together, we can drive change, support each other, and pave the way for future generations of women in tech. Please join us, share this post, and follow our journey to stay updated on future events and initiatives. Your support and engagement can make a significant difference. Let's connect, collaborate, and create a more inclusive tech industry,
