Women Not Included: Artificial Intelligence

In a world not designed for women, increasingly common AI tools - from voice assistants to hiring software – show how real-world inequality is coded into our systems.

Dr Ella Hubber and journalist Katie Silver unpack how artificial intelligence is far from neutral, and why that matters. They speak to experts who reveal how some AI is trained with bad data and how this means it can often reflect the same inequalities found in society be that in voice assistants, hiring tools, or translation apps.

As awareness grows, they also ask what change can look like. Better training, better regulation, and the technologies shaping our future working fairly for everyone.
