Katica Roy on AI as a Tool for Equality - Techonomy

"Women are the breadwinners in 40% of US households (with children under 18). On average, their pay gap is 66 cents on the dollar. But if you look at Black breadwinner moms, their pay gap is 44 cents on the dollar, and they support the majority of all Black children. That's why intersectionality matters."
In honor of Women's Equality Day, we are excited to highlight Katica Roy's efforts to use AI as a tool for gender equity, detailed in this #TechonomyVirtual session with Worth's Juliet Scott-Croxford. Watch now!
