AI Ethics Champions: Women lead charge for an inclusive tech future

The South Asian Chapter of Women for Ethical AI (W4EAI) launched at the 2025 International Conference on Gender and Technology, marking a significant step towards gender equality in AI. This UNESCO-backed initiative aims to create inclusive, trustworthy, and ethical AI systems across South Asia. With women representing only 30% of the AI workforce globally, W4EAI's efforts focus on increasing female representation, addressing biases, and promoting gender-sensitive AI policies. The network prioritizes research, mentorship, and advocacy to design a more inclusive AI landscape.
