Bridging the Gap: From Algorithms to User Adoption

This white paper explores how to move from conversation to action in the pursuit of gender equity in AI and data science.
While the number of women in AI roles has more than doubled since 2016, only 1 in 10 executive roles in STEM are held by women—highlighting the need for faster, more systemic change. This paper offers a grounded view of the current landscape, unpacking the structural barriers women face in tech leadership and spotlighting practical, community-led solutions to bridge the gap.
It’s both a reflection on where we are and a roadmap for what must come next.
