AI is shaping our world at an unprecedented pace—but who’s shaping AI? For too long, the conversation around artificial intelligence has been dominated by a narrow set of voices, leaving critical perspectives out. The voices of women and other underrepresented people are essential in building ethical, responsible AI that reflects the needs and values of everyone.
Why your voice is essential now
AI is not just about technology—it’s about people, decisions, and impact. Every day, AI influences:
- Hiring and job opportunities—Who gets hired and who doesn’t?
- Healthcare and diagnosis—Is medical AI designed with women’s health in mind?
- Education and access to information—Are algorithms amplifying bias or breaking it down?
- Social justice and fairness—Is AI being used to reinforce discrimination, or to dismantle it?
Without diverse voices shaping these systems, AI risks amplifying bias instead of eliminating it.
Help shape ethical AI
Ethical AI isn’t just a tech problem—it’s a human values problem. Your unique perspective is crucial in questioning, guiding, and shaping how AI is developed.
Ask questions.
Challenge AI’s decisions and demand transparency from companies. For example, say you’ve applied for a job or a loan and suspect AI may have influenced the outcome. You have every right to contact the company with your concern and ask if any form of artificial intelligence or algorithmic system was used in evaluating your application/request. If it was, ask what kind of system was used and if there’s an option to have it reviewed by a person at the company.
Raise awareness.
Speak out when you see bias in AI. For example, say you see that your social media feed is constantly recommending content that stereotypes certain groups of people. You can leave feedback directly on the platform about your concern. Also, share your experience publicly through social media. It will likely get the attention of the company pretty quickly.
