AI is changing how we work, lead, and make decisions, but the future of AI will not be shaped by technology alone. It will be shaped by who is invited to build it, question it, govern it, and lead through the change.

In this keynote, Jenny Kay Pollock explores why developing a broader leadership bench is essential to building more effective and responsible AI. Drawing on lessons from the first year of WOMEN x AI, she shares how access, community, practical learning, and visible leadership opportunities can help more women move from participating in AI conversations to shaping them.

Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of why representation must extend beyond visibility, how communities accelerate practical AI learning, and what leaders can do to create more opportunities for women to contribute, lead, and receive credit.
