The gender gap in the AI workforce is alarming — women represent just 29% of AI professionals. This disparity not only limits innovation but also risks perpetuating biases in AI systems. To close this gap, we must prioritize upskilling women, integrating AI education early, and increasing female leadership in tech. As AI continues to shape the future of work, creating a more inclusive and diverse workforce is crucial. See how you can help bridge the gender divide in AI: https://lnkd.in/eJBztry6 Kelli E.
