Ruiz de Alda argued that the datasets used to train AI models frequently lack gender sensitivity, leading to outcomes that can disadvantage women. She stressed that incorporating women into AI development teams is essential to ensure that these technologies serve all segments of society equitably.
The discussion at BIME Pro also touched upon the broader challenges faced by women in the music industry, particularly concerning the adoption of AI and digital tools. Ruiz de Alda’s insights underscore the importance of inclusive practices in technology to prevent the reinforcement of societal biases and to promote fairness across various sectors.
