Artificial intelligence : labour gender gap in Africa

The study identified sex disaggregation in terms of overall disaggregation, industry and position (managerial or otherwise). The total number of men and women is 977 and 406, respectively in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) workforce in Africa as revealed in a survey of 160 companies across 21 countries. The project maps the gender composition of AI projects and companies across Africa, capturing the diversity struggles particular to AI start-ups. It examines what those struggles exemplify in an African context and determines the mechanisms that can be put in place to curb them.
