Building on this year’s International Women’s Day theme, Invest in women: Accelerate progress, AI can be the tool that propels this investment forward. By incorporating AI into financial services, we can peel back the layers of exclusion and build a foundation of inclusion and empowerment. This shift is crucial in regions like Africa, where technology is not just a luxury but a lifeline–a means to leapfrog over traditional barriers and accelerate progress.
Initiatives like those by Women’s World Banking, in collaboration with the University of Zurich, are pivotal in addressing the challenges posed by algorithmic biases in digital credit applications. They have explored how algorithms in digital credit applications can be adjusted to increase lending to women borrowers, studying the applications of machine learning and AI to remove biases in lending.
As a working mother, the promise of AI-driven platforms like Unu Health hits close to home. Balancing work and family responsibilities often leaves little time for personal health management. This need for inclusivity in tech employment is not just about filling positions; it’s about fundamentally reshaping the industry to reflect the diversity of the world it serves. By employing AI to counteract biases in recruitment, we pave the way for a more diverse workforce capable of tackling the nuanced challenges of AI in healthcare and beyond.
