2-minute read

Key Points:

Diversity in AI: The absence of Latinx/e representation in AI policy discussions is a pressing issue.
Funding Faux Pas: Despite their contributions to business growth, Latinx/e AI founders face a severe funding gap, receiving only around 2% of venture capital investment.
Education & Employment Upswing: The number of Latinx/e students pursuing tech education and entering tech jobs is increasing, indicating a positive shift in industry trends.

Deep Dive:

Latinx/e entrepreneurs are making significant contributions to the tech industry by starting and growing businesses. Despite their impact, they face challenges in accessing venture capital funding. However, they are advocating for change and seeking representation in the tech sector. The increasing number of Latinx/e individuals in tech-related education and jobs sets the stage for greater diversity and inclusion in the development and application of artificial intelligence.

Actionable Insights:

• Stay Informed: Gather data about the contributions of Latinx/e individuals to the technology industry.

• Be Vocal: Engage in discussions about promoting diversity in policy-making for artificial intelligence (AI).

• Support Latinx/e Tech: Seek out and invest in technology companies founded or led by Latinx/e individuals.
