Montreal's AI Hub: A Lack of Diversity
The city of Montreal is known as a hub for artificial intelligence (AI), but the lack of diversity among its designers raises concerns about whose lives will be impacted by its systems.
According to a 2018 World Economic Forum report, women make up only 22% of AI professionals worldwide, and this figure does not account for non-binary individuals.
The voices missing from AI today will decide whose lives are overlooked by its systems tomorrow.
- Women, gender-diverse individuals, and people of color are underrepresented in the field of AI.
- The lack of diversity is not superficial, but rather structural, determining who designs technology and whose experiences are excluded from algorithms.
Author's summary: Montreal's AI hub lacks diversity among designers.
