The Gap in Data Representation

A significant issue undermining the effectiveness of current AI bias mitigation strategies for women in tech is the gap in data representation. Despite improvements, the datasets used to train AI systems often lack diversity and fail to represent women adequately, especially women of color and those from non-Western backgrounds. This omission perpetuates biases and exacerbates disparities in technology, suggesting that a strategic overhaul of data collection and processing is essential for these mitigation efforts to be truly effective for women in tech.
