Why Women's Voices Are Missing From AI (And What It Costs Us All) - with Luli Adeyemo
Description
The question we all need to ask all the time is: who's missing? Whose voice is not currently represented?
AI is reshaping the world. And while the headlines swing between hype and fear, most women are asking just one question: What does this mean for me?
This episode is about what happens when AI makes decisions about people's lives and nobody can explain why. It's about accountability. It's about bias. And it's about governance, not as a handbrake, but as the thing that lets us move faster, safely.
In this episode of AI Ready Women, Georgie and Lou sit down with Luli Adeyemo, Executive Director of Tech Diversity Foundation, award winning leader with over 30 years in tech, and former BMX world champion.
Luli has spent her career asking one question: who's in the room when decisions get made? And right now, when it comes to AI governance, women's voices are dangerously underrepresented. That's not just unfair. It's risky. And it's costing us all.
This is the conversation your organisation isn't having. Yet.
