Women make up nearly 50 percent of the global workforce but only account for a third of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workforce. This lack of diversity perpetuates gender stereotypes and shows up as bias in AI systems. In addition, the erasure of women and nonbinary people’s contributions to this critical field further undermines our progress towards a more inclusive and ethical tech future.
Women in AI Ethics®
Since 2018, Women in AI Ethics® has elevated underrepresented ethical voices in AI through our “100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics®” list and educational events with multi-disciplinary experts around the world. We are grateful to our amazing volunteers, donors, and global community for making our work possible. In 2025, in response to acceleration in AI risks, we launched WAIE+, a community-funded public interest AI venture with a mission to build a safe and secure AI future for all of us. You can explore our new resources, meet the inaugural cohort of WAIE+ Fellows and Advisors, and learn more about upcoming events on the WAIE+ website.
