FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
#NationalWomenInAIMonth
National Day Calendar and the Cadence Giving Foundation began working together in 2024 to create a new National Month to honor women in AI. Each October, we celebrate National Women in AI Month to showcase women as role models, promote their success in the AI and tech sectors, and encourage women to pursue careers in AI technology.
About the Founder of National AI Month
The Cadence Giving Foundation is committed to bringing innovation, technical expertise, and philanthropy together to make a lasting, positive impact in our world. The foundation helps support critical needs in our global communities in areas such as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), climate and sustainability, and access to STEM education.
Why is this happening now?
Despite the growing demand for AI expertise, one significant talent pool—women—remains largely untapped. In 2020, women represented roughly 47% of the US labor force. However, according to a 2020 World Economic Forum report, women comprise only 26% of data and AI positions in the workforce.
Backed by a $20M investment to kickstart National Women in AI Month the Cadence Giving Foundation and their partners including the Fem.AI Summit on October 1, 2024, aim to infuse more diversity into the field of AI.
This conference marks the kickoff of a movement aimed at breaking the cycle of inequity and initiating steps toward a more inclusive future for women in high-tech and AI.
How can you help?
There are many ways to participate now and show ongoing support. Two important opportunities right now include:
- Encouraging participation in the AI field by inspiring young women to consider careers in AI through outreach programs, mentorship, and visibility of role models.
- Creating a more inclusive AI community that benefits from the diverse perspectives and talents of women. Share your love and support for women in AI by posting their photos, words of encouragement, and thanks on social media using the hashtag #NationalWomenInAIMonth.
Working together to support women in AI, we are fostering gender diversity and enriching the field with women's diverse perspectives and talents.
