Artificial intelligence: Women demand equality in the tech world!

Artificial intelligence: Women demand equality in the tech world!

On March 11, 2025, a central event for World Women's Day took place in Frankenthal, which was organized with the equal opportunities officer of Ludwigshafen, Frankenthal and the Rhein-Palatinate district. This event emphasized the need for a gender -sensitive look at the progressive digitization and the use of artificial intelligence (AI).

Cornelia Tildmann, the equal opportunities officer, described the revolutionary developments by AI and the associated challenges for equal opportunities and gender equality in her opening speech. In doing so, she pointed out that AI is not intelligent per se, but is trained by people, as Regina Kessler, Managing Director of Genie Enterprise Deutschland GmbH, also explained.

artificial intelligence and gender equality

The situation of women in the world of work is particularly influenced by AI. According to current data, 79 percent of employed women work in professions that are suitable for AI use and automation. This fact could cause existing inequalities to be further reinforced, since algorithms are often based on stereotypes and imperfect data. Only 16 percent of experts in the AI ​​sector are women, which can lead to the development of stereotypical opinions during programming.

In the panel discussion moderated by Ulrike Gentner, the approximately 50 participants agreed that diversified teams and non -discriminatory data are of central importance for the development of AI. Dr. Inga-Lena Darkow called for more women's participation in AI development and Birgit Löwer pointed out the need for digital skills for women in order to be able to actively help shape in the AI ​​area. In this context, Regina Kessler appealed to those present to emphasize women to use AI.

changes through artificial intelligence

Another interesting perspective brought Rita Petry, who reported on changes in training plans and new business models in the craft through the use of AI. Daniel Meyer, Chief Digital Officer, also explained how KI is implemented in the economy, administration and public security in Ludwigshafen.

The event made it clear that a broad participation of women is needed to make developments in artificial intelligence sustainable. Only through a common understanding of these challenges can a fairer society and equal opportunities be achieved in a digitized world. Overall, the debate shows that the gender -sensitive view of digitization and AI still has to be sharpened in order to bridge the growing gap in gender equality.
