Artificial Intelligence has a gender gap - Women are being left behind and are up to 40% less likely to use AI.

You know what else has a gender gap? Pay. The current gender pay gap in Australia is 21.8%, and every industry has a gender pay gap that sees men earning more than women – including women-dominated industries like retail, and healthcare and social assistance.

Well, what might happen if you brought the two together, and use AI to solve your gender pay gap?

Today’s guest is Sorrel Kesby, and she’s doing just that. She is cofounder of EvenBetter.AI, a start up using AI to help companies understand their gender pay gap drivers, and what to do to close the gap.

In Sorrel’s mind, changing the system is about top down – leaders, executives, and governments changing policies and behaviours, and bottom up – grass roots change and striving for things to be better in our own lives, which has a ripple effect outwards.

Sorrel is a single mum with a background in advertising (notoriously difficult for women once they have children) and tech start-ups (also high pressure environments that are usually gender imbalanced) who’s on a mission to create real change.
