What does it mean to be human in an AI-powered economy?
In this episode, Slavina Rachava unpacks the complex intersections between artificial intelligence, gender, and the future of work. We explore why women are more vulnerable to automation, how bias is embedded in the design and deployment of AI, and the urgent need for inclusive leadership and ethical education in tech.
From disparities in tool adoption to the question of who AI is really being built for, this is a conversation about power, equity, and reimagining responsibility in the age of algorithms.
Key Topics:
- Why AI adoption rates differ between men and women
- How bias in AI reflects and amplifies societal stereotypes
- What needs to change in education, ethics, and leadership
- The role of diverse voices in shaping the future of AI
Trigger warning, this episode references suicide.
