The authors of the list emphasize that artificial intelligence accompanies us at almost every step (Internet of Things, medtech, fintech, biometric solutions, etc.) and its significance will continue to grow. According to a report by Cyfrowa Polska 2020 ‘Artificial Intelligence in Poland – Competencies of AI Experts’, there is still a significant gender disproportion among AI specialists. Only 13 percent of the industry’s professionals are women. Meanwhile, over the next two years, in Poland alone, as many as 200,000 people dealing with this issue may be needed (Polish Agency for Enterprise Development report: Monitoring trends in innovation).
The TOP100 Woman in AI list therefore aims to present, promote, and appreciate women whose professional work is related to this modern field of technology, while inspiring younger generations of women to follow this path.
A committee, chaired by prof. Aleksandra Przegalińska, from the Department of Management in Digital and Networked Societies, will use the presented list to select Top of the Top, i.e. 10 most outstanding AI women-experts in Poland. The winners will receive Excellence in AI Awards. They will be presented at the ‘Perspektywy’ Women in Tech Summit 2022 (7-8.06.2022) – Europe’s largest conference for women in technology.
