Artificial intelligence is already growing at speed and promises to gain considerable importance in the future, however it is important to raise awareness and measure its impact on gender inequality in our economy as this technology becomes more prevalent. How can businesses come out on top in terms of diversity and inclusion with AI? How can we implement artificial intelligence in a way that does not contribute to increased inequality? How do we ensure that women are involved in the decisions and implementation of this technology?
