Why the gender gap in AI?

The disparity in AI roles, where women account for just 26% of new hires, is complex. It often stems from fewer women pursuing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) degrees, unconscious bias in hiring, and a lack of visible female role models in the field. This can create a cycle where women are underrepresented, particularly in higher-paying and leadership positions.
