Principal author: Monika Madrid

A Year of Education, Expertise, and Innovation for Women

What a year this has been for AI! While the rest of the world is just trying to keep up with the pace of innovation and growing reliance on AI, the Ethics and Culture Office for Women in AI has been busy with community engagement, launching our Global Expert Series, and working to promote the Global voice of @WomeninAI. 

Here are just a few highlights from 2025

We’re taking a deep dive into the Culture of Artificial Intelligence and how emerging technologies can remove barriers for women and girls, and contribute to environmental, social, and restorative justice.

We are also working to create more face-to-face opportunities (looking for event sponsors!) and developing industry relationships to support our community.
