Women in Tech the Panel
summary
Women remain underrepresented in tech and the panel gives concrete problems and fixes: hiring forms that act like a diversity checkbox and interviews that dismiss candidates, a persistent mentorship gap that leaves juniors stranded as the job market tightens, measurable AI failures like image cropping and biased decisions caused by biased training datasets, and an actionable policy timeline with the EU Accessibility Act coming 28 June 2025 that forces accessibility into requirements rather than an afterthought.
