Episode Details

AI systems in tech, prevalent in hiring, investing, and screening, often perpetuate biases against women due to historical underrepresentation, particularly in STEM fields. Despite eighty-three percent of local businesses using these tools, seventy-three percent lack policies to mitigate risks. AI automation is causing job losses, with over fifty-four thousand tech positions vanishing in the US last year. In Northern Ireland, graduate roles are dwindling, traditionally held by women. However, AI also presents opportunities, lowering barriers for non-tech women to build products and pitch ideas. New roles in machine learning, cloud architecture, data engineering, and cyber security are emerging, necessitating retraining. Programs are aiding small businesses in adopting AI safely, and experts advise graduates to create personal projects to differentiate themselves. As AI reshapes work over the next five to ten years, the focus is on adapting intelligently to reduce biases and seize new opportunities for all.
