"AI is very imbalanced in terms of gender," says Sasha Luccioni, an AI ethics researcher at HuggingFace. "It's not a very welcoming field for women."
One of the areas where women are flourishing within the AI industry is within the world of ethics and safety, which Luccioni views as comparatively inclusive to other parts of the field. She also sees it as significant that the ousted board members reportedly clashed with Altman over OpenAI's mission.
"I don't think they got fired because they're women," Luccioni says. "I think they got fired because they highlighted an issue." (Technically, both women agreed to leave the board.)
