Advancing Women in Artificial Intelligence (AI) Safety and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Security, Especially in Healthcare
Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) safety and security constitute interdependent disciplines essential for mitigating both unintended and deliberate harms arising from autonomous systems. AI safety aims to ensure that intelligent agents operate predictably and in alignment with human values, while AI security safeguards systems against adversarial manipulation, data poisoning, and model exploitation. Together, these domains underpin the ethical and operational integrity of AI technologies across sectors, particularly in high-stakes environments such as healthcare and governance. Nevertheless, the persistent underrepresentation of women, who comprise less than one-third of AI professionals globally, poses a critical challenge to the field's inclusivity, legitimacy, and epistemic diversity. This commentary argues that women's participation in AI safety and security is not merely a matter of representation, but a prerequisite for developing systems that are equitable, accountable, and aligned with societal values. Women's perspectives are indispensable in identifying algorithmic bias, confronting gendered harms such as deepfakes, and designing governance frameworks that advance fairness and transparency. Simultaneously, AI technologies themselves can serve as tools for empowerment, mentorship, and confidence-building among women in professional roles. Ensuring women's engagement is therefore both an ethical and strategic policy imperative for achieving robust, socially responsive AI safety and security practices.
