SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW
AI for Empowering Women in AI
Women remain significantly underrepresented in computing and artificial intelligence (AI), facing barriers such as limited access to tools, training, and opportunities. As AI becomes increasingly integral to daily life, it has the potential to address these disparities and foster greater inclusion. Realizing this potential requires fair access, inclusive design, and strategies that actively promote confidence, participation, and representation. This study explores these dimensions, identifying pathways for Al to serve as a catalyst for change.
Executive Impact
The study highlights that while empowerment is frequently mentioned, few studies treat it as a central concept. Most research focuses on bias reduction, diversity, or inclusion, often indirectly contributing to empowerment through awareness-raising or participation in AI-related activities. The findings reveal a lack of explicit AI artifacts designed solely for women's empowerment, with most tools focusing on mitigating bias rather than directly fostering empowerment.

Gender Disparities in AI Engagement
Significant gender disparities exist in AI engagement in the workplace, with women less likely to be offered skill development opportunities, feel less confident in their AI skills, and have lower access to AI tools compared to men. Fewer women use AI for problem-solving, and they are also less likely to be provided AI access by their employers.

Cycle of Underrepresentation
The underrepresentation of women in computing creates a reinforcing pattern: fewer women in the field lead to fewer role models and inclusive designs, perpetuating a cycle of limited engagement and confidence.

The AI Summer Program for High School Girls
A notable initiative, an AI Summer Program for High School Girls (S14), aimed to increase girls' interest in AI and reduce barriers to CS education. It emphasized role models, supportive communities, and foundational AI knowledge.
Case Study: AI Summer Program for High School Girls
The AI Summer Program for High School Girls (S14) proved effective in boosting interest and confidence in AI among young women. By providing role models and fostering a supportive community, it successfully reduced barriers to entry into computer science. This highlights the importance of targeted interventions and inclusive learning environments in promoting gender diversity in STEM fields.
