Gender, Workforce and Artificial Intelligence

Our aim is to explore the role Artificial Intelligence has on widening the gender inequality gap that currently exists in the field of Information Technology. This study builds on the ‘Advancement of Women in Technology (AWT) framework and ‘The implicit bias theory to explore women's ability and willingness to enter and remain in an AI related career. By conducting semi-structured interviews of 4 users of AI as a pilot study, data gathered enables us to draw a parallel to fully understand the existing gender gap in AI and the general invisibility which women as contributors to the industry experience and make recommendations for industry practise.
