AI-driven education, increasing workforce participation and leadership in technology fields.

By equipping women and marginalized groups with AI skills, this initiative enhances workforce
readiness, improves employment outcomes, and drives inclusive economic growth.

AI-powered education includes training on AI applications for climate resilience, supporting
women-led innovation in sustainable technologies and green jobs.

2�3 Future Work

To further scale and sustain the impact of this initiative, we propose the following future work:

• Data Collection & Insights Development: Expand sex-disaggregated AI data research to
identify barriers and opportunities for women in AI careers in the Asia-Pacific region, both
at the national and the regional level. Strengthen AI-driven labor market analytics to tailor
skill development programs based on emerging workforce trends.
• Proof of Concept Development: Enhance UN and civil society organizations workflows
