We need the same effort that transformed women’s access to higher education to focus on Computer Science
It’s possible to move from the life sciences into AI with some extra training – we need to make women aware of that possibility.
1. A Focus on ICT2. Move from STEM to AI

Value your own soft skills, work on developing them, and speak up for their value within your organization.
If you’re in the position to make hiring decisions, or to influence them, learn to be conscious of your own biases, and aware of others’.
3. Speak up for “Soft Skills” 4. Challenge biases

Don’t miss out because you don’t apply. Take that extra chance, apply for that job, and nurture and encourage that behavior in other women around you.
5. Push your own career boundaries
