IA: Without women, innovation remains incomplete

 

Women account for only 22 per cent of artificial intelligence professionals, according to UNESCO. An imbalance that raises major issues of inclusion and technological reliability, while d The organisation advocates for greater mobilisation in favour of the themes: #AllVoicesInScience and #WomenInScience.

As artificial intelligence is imposed in key sectors, health, education, safety or employment, the issue of representativeness becomes crucial. When teams designing these technologies lack diversity, the tools developed may incorporate biases, such as voice recognition, data analysis or automated decision-making.

According to UNESCO, the low presence of women in AI trades limits the plurality of scientific and technological perspectives. This underrepresentation can have concrete consequences: less efficient systems for certain voices, profiles or social realities.

In view of this, the international organisation encourages educational and vocational policies that promote girls and women's access to STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). Promoting equality in AI is not only a social justice imperative but also an essential condition for developing truly inclusive and reliable technologies.
