Rana el Kaliouby says the current trajectory of AI development could deepen economic inequality if diversity is not prioritized.

She pointed out that women are underrepresented not only as founders, but also as investors—limiting their participation in one of the most important technological shifts of the decade.

Her concerns come amid broader industry changes influenced by shifting policies around diversity initiatives, which could also impact how AI systems are built and deployed.

El Kaliouby stressed that this is a “critical moment” for leaders to prioritize ethics, inclusion, and human-centered design to ensure AI benefits society as a whole.
