Closing the gap: Women, work & AI adoption

A breakfast session on why women in the UK use AI tools less than men, and what employers and government can do about it. techUK's own figures put women at 22% of the UK AI workforce, adopting AI tools at a 25% lower rate than men on average. Registration, breakfast and networking from 08:30. At 09:00 Sheila Flavell CBE (techUK president, COO of FDM Group) is in conversation with Rachel Seftel of the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women, followed at 09:30 by a panel with Maryam Yaqub (Fawcett Society) and Riham Satti (MeVitae), with further panellists to be confirmed. Ends 10:15. Part of Women in Tech Week. Free and in person at techUK, 10 St Bride Street, EC4A 4AD. Open to all genders. Why go: an AI-adoption discussion that starts from the evidence on who is being left behind rather than from the tools. Best for people leading AI rollouts, HR and skills leads, and anyone setting adoption policy at work.
