2. Research: Women Can Lead the Way in AI Transformation (IBM)
IBM’s 2023 research emphasizes how women can harness generative AI transformative technology to close the gender gap into leadership.
Nine inspirational women leaders—from IBM and other industry-leading organizations — discuss the challenges and opportunities offered by the generative AI moment.
Early use cases for generative AI are focused on HR, marketing, and customer service — functions, historically dominated by women. That means women can – and must – be change agents and propel themselves into the leadership ranks.
By interacting with AI early on, women can flag problematic and biased outputs and begin to shrink the gender divide. However, only 33% of business leaders say their organization currently has a woman in charge of making decisions about AI strategy.
