AI Hiring Boom Leaves Women Behind in Top Roles

LinkedIn data indicates women occupy only 13 percent of top AI roles, a disparity that is now viewed as a business risk. While high-paying AI positions are growing rapidly, they are primarily being filled by Millennial and Gen Z workers. This trend creates a gender gap in the highest tiers of the AI workforce despite the broader sector's expansion.
