Current issues for women in tech in Quebec
While technologies are evolving rapidly, many challenges remain for women in tech in Quebec:
- Cyberthreats: With the rise of artificial intelligence, risks such as deepfake videos and cyberattacks are on the increase, impacting women in particular.
- Bias in AI: Algorithms often designed without diversity perpetuate gendered inequalities.
- Under-representation: Women account for just 20% of the tech workforce in Quebec, with a digital divide that begins in childhood.
These challenges call for an urgent cultural shift towards a more diverse and equitable ecosystem, promoting inclusion in technology.
