I wrote a post on LinkedIn about the The New York Times #artificialintelligence list fails to acknowledge any female contributors in the field. This omission raises concerns about biases and a lack of comprehensive understanding of the AI landscape. There are plenty of us who have shaped 50+ years of Ai that has enabled our society to arrive at this Ai moment. It is crucial to question why not a single woman, whose contributions are significant and numerous, was included in this list. Such oversight not only undermines the diverse efforts in AI advancement but also hints at a deeper issue of gender bias. As a professional in this field #Ai #ProductDesign, I find this journalistic laziness disappointing, alarming and a form of historic erasure.

Here’s a diverse list of women in Ai, that paved the way to the present, but also a number of them who are shaping our Ai future:

Ada Lovelace
Dr. Grace Murray Hopper
Kathleen Booth
Evelyn Boyd Granville
Jean E. Sammet

I encourage you to follow them, and please add women in all the fields of #Ai (eg. #ML, #Robotics, #NLP, #NLU, #LLM) that influence you. If you want to see more women in AI make a donation to the Design Corps: https://designedbyus.org/donate, we are training women and minorities through Ai literacy programs
