How Artificial Intelligence can help in the bridging gender gap

Research has repeatedly shown that diverse companies have more effective teams. But many organisations acknowledge there has not been enough progress when it comes to having a truly representative workforce and eliminating implicit or explicit biases.

The challenge is not necessarily rooted in the talent pipeline since there is more diversity in college graduates than ever before. While technology, and STEM (Science, technology, engineering and mathematics) at large, have traditionally been considered career paths that are best suited for a ‘particular gender’, it is encouraging to see a shift in this perception. If we look at World Bank data, 43% of STEM graduates in India are women, making it the highest in the world.
