Only 0.7% of AI funding went to female founders. Yep you read that right...! We need more women at the forefront of AI, whether that's building AI startups, getting funding, joining AI taskforces within their companies, or simply dabbling with ChatGPT to get the best out of it. In a special bonus episode, Next Big Thing founder Lauren Ingram shares why this is now an urgent need - this year is when the critical conversations are happening about AI, and women need their voices heard in it.
