    Abstract

    According to the World Economic Forum, only 22 per cent of AI professionals globally in 2018 were women. This increased marginally to 26 percent in 2020 but is no match against the rapid overall growth of the field. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics have historically been male dominated, so the limited presence of women in AI might not be surprising. Furthermore, according to the AI Now Institute, women comprise only 15 and 10 percent of AI research staff at Facebook and Google, respectively. This further highlights the pervasiveness of gender inequality in AI. Singapore, together with Italy and South Africa, have the smallest gender gaps in this field where women comprise on average 28 per cent of the AI talent pool. Is there a model Singapore can offer to the rest of the world?

     

    Organised by the Future Issues and Technology Research Cluster with support from the Centre of Excellence for National Security and the Singapore Computer Society.
