WOMEN IN AI: Designing a Safer, Smarter Future

​Artificial intelligence is the defining technology of our time, and it is being built with a significant blind spot. Women remain dramatically underrepresented in AI development, while gender bias in training data is already creating measurable harm for brands, platforms, and consumers alike. Women represent only 22% of AI researchers, and 2 in 3 report experiencing gender bias in AI systems.

​As AI becomes embedded in marketing, media, and everyday life, addressing bias, safety, and representation is no longer just a social issue, it is a business imperative.

​At Cannes Lions 2026, where the world's most influential marketing and technology leaders converge, this is exactly the conversation the industry needs to have now.

​The Digital Marketeer Group is bringing together leaders from technology, brands, academia, and startups to explore how the industry can build AI that is fair, safe, and inclusive, and how companies can lead responsibly in the AI era.

​LET'S TALK

​Hosted together with Human Security, we'll have a high-profile, 45-minute panel discussion that includes senior leaders from Big Tech, global brands, AI ethics, academia, and AI startups.

​This is a business and technology conversation about risk, trust, innovation, and leadership in the AI economy. Audience includes CMOs, technology leaders, investors, and innovation executives attending Cannes Lions and beyond.
