[HIGHLIGHTS] Women in the AI ​​scene: Founder Vanessa Cann on resistance

Women are underrepresented in the German AI scene, and start-up founders like Vanessa Cann are a rarity. In 2022, women made up around 30 percent of AI employees, according to the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Report.

Many women are also afraid of making a career change into AI because they fear that they will not fully understand the topic. Researchers examined more than 100 AI systems between 1988 and 2021; In 44 percent they found a so-called gender bias: distortions in the AI ​​that have to do with gender.
