Supported by Women in AI Ireland, this award recognizes the great individuals in Artificial Intelligence who have done outstanding work in promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace. In 2023, women made up only 26% of the tech workforce, while women hold a mere 5% of leadership roles in tech. This award aims to change this.

We are looking for inspirational leaders who are pioneering diversity and inclusion within the tech industry, paving the way for more and more young talent to consider a career in the AI and wider tech industry. If you or someone you know is paving the way for other women in the field of AI, then we want to hear from you.
