Science & Technology

Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are revolutionizing the world. They are changing rapidly and offering many professional opportunities. For instance, today, AI is part of our daily lives since it intervenes as a decision-making aid in many areas such as education, police, health etc. With the development of AI in many companies, the world of tomorrow is being written. The AI sector, however, just like other sciences, is highly dominated by men who also hold the most prestigious positions.

For AI to benefit as many people as possible, the sector must be more diverse and more open to women.

Gender diversity is an incredible asset and a real factor of performance. This diversity brings new ways of thinking and is a source of value and progress. Considering the need to diversify the science and AI sectors, the Center for Women, Gender and Global Leadership has created space for Howard faculty to reflect on ways to encourage female students to get into scientific fields such as AI. The goal for the Center is to ultimately diversify the leadership in all scientific sectors.
