"A recent
New York Times article released a list of people “behind the dawn
of the modern artificial intelligence movement” – and not a single woman was
named. It came less than a week after news of a fake auto-generated woman being
listed as a speaker on the agenda for a software conference.
Unfortunately, the omission of women from the history of STEM isn’t a new
phenomenon. Women have been missing from these narratives for centuries.
In the wake of recent AI developments, we now have a choice: are we going to
leave women out of these conversations as well – even as they continue to make
massive contributions to the AI industry?
Doing so risks leading us into the same fallacy that established computing
itself as a “man’s world”. The reality, of course, is quite different."
