Only 29% of AI-skilled workers are women. In specialized AI skills like software development (18%), AI cloud applications (20%) and applied machine learning (23%), women, and especially women of color, are even less well represented. This stems from the dual challenges of attracting and retaining women in STEM, with many women citing a lack of equity and exclusion as reasons for leaving tech. https://bit.ly/4fIdbjK #AI #MRX #MarketResearch #WomeninResearch

Closing the leadership gap doesn’t just benefit women; it’s also good for business. Research continues to demonstrate that companies with greater diversity (including having more women at the executive level) are more likely to outperform their more homogenous peers. That’s because the #insights that lead to #innovation and growth depend upon the exchange of new ideas, fresh perspectives and different opinions, a phenomenon made possible by bringing people of varying backgrounds around the table. https://bit.ly/3ZqE3iy #MRX #MarketResearch #WomeninResearch #Leadership
