Women using AI · Purpose and power

Women using AI to change the systems that shape their lives.

The question isn't only whether women adopt AI at work. It's what women want AI to help them understand, decide, create or change.


Why this matters

21% vs 33%of entry-level women, compared with entry-level men, said their managers encouraged them to use AI tools.McKinsey & Company and LeanIn.Org, Women in the Workplace 2025

That figure measures encouragement, not ability, and closing that gap is the organization's job, not hers. Separately, women can decide for themselves what AI is for.

I'm exploring how AI-assisted research can help women look at opportunities, compare public policies, examine institutional decisions, organize evidence, and prepare questions for people with authority.

AI is a research assistant. It isn't an authority on a woman's experience, a substitute for professional advice, or proof that an interpretation is correct. Check what it tells you against the original source.


Try it today

Use AI to examine a public document.

Choose a public workplace policy, a company pay transparency report, a government consultation document or a professional standard. Paste it into an AI assistant with this request:

"Examine this public document. Tell me its stated purpose, who it applies to and who it leaves out, what commitments or obligations it creates, and who is responsible for carrying them out. Quote the exact passage that supports each answer. Keep the document's own statements separate from your interpretation. Where the document doesn't say, write 'Not stated in the document' instead of guessing."

Then check every quote against the original. If it's a law, confirm the place it applies, the date it took effect, and whether it has been amended. One document may not contain every protection that applies to you.

Use public material only. Don't paste confidential workplace documents, private notes or personal information into an AI tool to do this exercise.
