Artificial intelligence (AI) technology, if harnessed appropriately, could unlock a myriad of opportunities for economic and social progress

Key points

  • Companies that have comprehensive systems to address equality within their broader culture, policies and processes can use technology to ensure that the right controls are in place to minimise risks and boost results.
  • The ability for AI to generate code could open more creative and strategic opportunities in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM)-related fields, which could attract greater female representation.
  • AI enhances personalisation and search capabilities, which may reduce the amount of time women spend on unpaid household responsibilities
