Trust as the New Literacy: Why Discernment Is the New Leadership Advantage in AI
Women are adopting generative AI faster than ever. A recent Deloitte study found women's generative AI adoption tripled in a single year.
At the same time they consistently report less confidence that AI providers will keep their data secure, and women make up less than a third of the workforce building the AI tools they are being asked to trust.
A recent Fast Company article made the case that the real problem is that women aren't in the room where these tools get built. This isn't a caution to be overcome. It's attunement to the exact factors that determine whether AI actually succeeds.
Join AI Powered Women Seattle for a fireside conversation with:
Liat Ben-Zur — Board Director, Compass Group and Talkspace. Former Microsoft CVP. AI governance advisor and keynote speaker.
Mary Jesse — CEO, ACME Brains. Inventor, founder, and speaker on human-centered AI, privacy, and personal technology.
Moderated by Carol S. Grant, Director of Programs, AI-Powered Women Seattle Chapter, Principal at CG and champion for aspiring women founders and neurodiverse learners.
During this session we will learn:
📍 Where the AI adoption and trust gap intersect
📍 What it looks like to treat questioning as a qualification instead of friction
📍Who gets to define trust in the AI era
Attendees will leave with one concrete practice for evaluating and adopting AI tools with more confidence and sharper judgment.
