Meanwhile, the rise of AI is bringing significant changes to the labor market: 27.6% of jobs held by women globally are estimated to be exposed to generative AI, compared with 21.1% of jobs held by men.

This gap is not simply a matter of numbers. It raises a deeper question about who gets to participate in designing the technologies that will increasingly shape all of our lives.
