Picture this: a room buzzing with women venture capitalists and coders dissecting the future of Silicon Valley’s AI startup gold rush. 🚀 As artificial intelligence reshapes industries, these trailblazers are asking: Is the tech world truly inclusive, or are old biases creeping into the algorithms of tomorrow?
Mark Niu’s CGTN report highlights a paradox: While AI startups have surged by 48% in the past year (💡hello, ChatGPT era!), women still face hurdles in funding and leadership roles. One VC dropped this truth bomb: \"We’re coding the future—but who gets to hold the keyboard?\" 🎯
Here’s the tea ☕: Startups with female co-founders now account for 30% of AI ventures, up from 18% in 2020. Yet women hold just 12% of senior tech positions at major firms. The panelists called for \"algorithmic accountability\"—ensuring diversity isn’t just a PR move but built into tech DNA.
Think this is just a Silicon Valley story? Think again. 🌍 From Seoul to Shenzhen, women engineers are flipping the script, launching AI tools for healthcare and education. As one coder put it: \"We’re not just breaking glass ceilings—we’re redesigning the building.\" 🔨
