I believe that in the age of AI, there are certain qualities that machines find challenging to replicate, such as empathy and connection. Women naturally possess these qualities and incorporating them into products can define the success of AI technology. That's why it's crucial to recognize and promote women in the advanced tech field, as it fosters innovation, reduces bias, and builds a more fair and inclusive future.

Unfortunately, the traditional view of women as primary caregivers often holds them back in their professional growth, especially in dynamic fields like technology and creativity. To address this, we need a comprehensive approach both from within ourselves and externally. At Cybernetyx, we are fully committed to achieving gender equality.

Women should feel empowered to prioritize their work and family without guilt. This not only gives them a sense of achievement but also propels them towards success. It's disheartening to see that despite representing 32.8% of entry-level positions in tech-related jobs, women hold only 10.9% of CEO or senior leadership roles, as recent research reveals. This inequality stems from various personal and societal factors.

To bridge this gap, we must have external initiatives that empower women, encouraging them to pursue top leadership positions based on their merit, regardless of any career gaps they may have. Together, let's empower women and create a more inclusive and thriving society. Happy Women's Day!
