According to UNESCO, only 30% of academic researchers are women. The number drops to 11% when we look at senior positions. Nor is this vast gender gap exclusive to academia; figures from the World Economic Forum point to the same problem in tech jobs. Women account for less than 25% of AI specialists, only 14% of the cloud computing workforce, and 20% of engineers. The AI research staff at Facebook is only 15% women, while at Google this figure is just 10%. A panel hosted by Esade’s Irene Unceta at the most recent edition of 4YFN addressed these questions with Emma Fernández, Atia Cortés and Paula Subías-Beltrán.
