The AI Leader Trying To Bring More Latin American Women Into The Tech Industry HispanicHeritageMonth
, the ambassador from Women in Ai Mexico, brought on an amazing team of volunteers to get the first cohort together. Even though the partnership was with Women in AI Mexico, the program reached 60 women in 11 Latin American and Caribbean countries.
Then I spoke to my colleagues at DataRobot and they were on board immediately. They realized this would be a small lift that would generate a huge impact. I was able to find amazing ambassadors within the organization. We had a team of people across the marketing, localization, logistics, curriculum development, and so many other departments. It was really a team effort.
We also have to ask, how AI is impacting the workplace? We are still expected to see more jobs replaced by automation. But Ai is also going to create more jobs. The part worrying me is that there have been studies that show women will be more impacted than men in this transition towards new jobs. Administrative roles like secretaries will be easier to automate. So women, who hold the majority of those roles, need to make the transition to the new jobs that AI is going to create, and they need the training and tools to do that. Plus, once they enter the tech industry in general, they should see better benefits and higher compensation.
The other thing is, in order to be involved in AI machine learning, you don’t necessarily have to become a programmer. If you’re afraid of coding, that’s not a barrier to this industry. All my previous work and expertise was relevant to what I’m doing now. Data scientists need support to fully understand certain business problems. Learning more just gives you more choices. Don't underestimate the value of that.
