In order to promote the share of diverse voices in the development of and societal interaction with algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI), we present a list of German-speaking female and non-binary individuals who are experts on algorithms and the ethics of algorithms.<\/em><\/p>\n

Technologies like AI are not neutral and can even reinforce existing inequalities. Therefore, it is crucial to negotiate diversity in the tech industry and how to deal with it as a central issue. This is the only way to develop technologies and debate about them that reflect the diverse realities of our lives.<\/p>\n

For many years, not a single female and non-binary expert was among the speakers at events addressing digitalization-relevant issues. That’s why Carla Hustedt started this list on the occasion of International Women’s Day in 2019. In the last four years, a lot has happened and our list of experts working on algorithmic systems and AI continues to grow. Therefore, we are happy if the list is used, developed and circulated.<\/p>\n

This list is also an invitation to all men in the tech industry and beyond to actively stand in solidarity with female and non-binary individuals, people of all genders, as well as all other diversity dimensions, and create a brave, visible, and united force for equality and development of responsible technologies like AI. Because for a more equitable and diverse society, not only gender is crucial, but also various other diversity characteristics such as ethnic or social background. Let’s work on this together!<\/p>\n
