Women Should Focus on Becoming Early Adopters to AI to Help Shape Its Future

Across the AI ecosystem, there are spaces where parity and opportunity are being priced, allocated and distributed and where women’s ambivalence points to kinks in the chain of how AI is adopted, developed and invested in and for whom.

Women are increasingly participating in the AI boom, just not taking the same share of winnings.

The World Economic Forum poses four questions that could lead us to better gender parity in AI.

1. Are we focusing on the problem rather than the solution?
2. Is the AI economy widening or narrowing economic gaps?
3. Who can afford to buy into AI?
4. What can leaders do next?

Participation in the AI ecosystem without ownership risks becoming participation without power. Women should focus on becoming early adopters and active stakeholders so they can help shape the future of AI and share in its value.
