Leaders Speak Series - The Rising Paradox between Tech & Gender

There is a rising paradox between tech and gender - the two forces that are driving change and defining this generation. While tech propels us forward, it risks our progress towards a gender-equal society. It is perhaps unsurprising that the biggest issue lies in the gender imbalance within the industry itself.

Advances in digital technology and robotics are occurring faster than ever before. Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming hyperintelligent, hyperreal, and hyper-human, influencing our lives and behaviours in myriad ways. While many of these changes are exciting and help propel us forward, this new wave of pervasive technology has also created an unavoidable tension when viewed through the lens of gender.

We live in an extraordinary era of gender politics, where traditional gender norms are constantly challenged. Organizations must take responsible decisions around gender and technology and take appropriate action to help propel society forward.

Come and join us to listen to some of the industry leader's talk about their journey and how they are dealing with this paradox in their companies.
