As part of the WISE-AI project, we recently conducted a survey among young Portuguese women about artificial intelligence.
Our findings indicate that most young Portuguese women use AI at least once a week yet rate their understanding of the technology as low to average. Despite this, there is a strong desire to learn more, with many highlighting the lack of integration of AI topics in the classroom. However, learning about AI is not without its challenges, with time constraints and ethical concerns emerging as significant barriers. It is therefore vital to address these issues in order to empower women in the field of AI.
