    At the Institute for Gender and the Economy (GATE), we are changing the conversation on gender equality by:

    • Instigating cutting-edge academic research
    • Mythbusting tired ideas that are holding back progress
    • Inspiring disruptive change with game-changing guidance

    2021 has been a year of hardships and hope. At the Institute for Gender and the Economy (GATE), we faced the pandemic by doubling down on generating game-changing guidance for corporate leaders, non-profits, and government policymakers. As Arundhati Roy has said, the pandemic is a “portal” through which we can see many of the fractures in society that might have gone unnoticed or unheeded in the past by people in positions of power. GATE has focused on using everything that rigorous research can tell us to shape the social and economic recovery from this collective trauma.

    Despite the circumstances, this year GATE continued to build momentum. We invite you to explore the past year with us. In it, you’ll learn about the path-breaking research we’ve funded, the students and post doctoral fellows we’ve supported, and the impact we’ve had on policy and practice.

    We invite you to explore our past year through this interactive report.

    An Equity Lens on Artificial Intelligence

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) describes machines that can simulate some forms of human intelligence. Some conceptualizations of AI refer to machines that act indistinguishably from humans, while others focus more on ‘machine learning’ that can identify patterns, achieve an optimized outcome to a given problem, and/or make predictions and decisions based on prior information.

    To achieve these goals, AI uses algorithms that ‘learn’ from large data sets and adjust and improve over time based on new data. While not a new concept, AI is increasingly embedded in people’s lives and will only become more pervasive.

    Organizations across many sectors use AI for a variety of purposes: hiring employees, performing surgeries, tutoring school subjects, making decisions about criminal sentencing, making lending decisions, automating driving, and predicting where crime will occur, to name a few. AI is also used to make recommendations for what people watch on television or the music they listen to; to select which advertisements to show users on social media; and to display results on online search engines.
