A Selection of interview, essays, research and industry conversation shaping the future of gender-aware AI.
Shubhi Rao joined Karen Tso and Steve Sedgwick on CNBC's Squawk Box Europe to discuss the AI gender data gap as a business risk, not a brand risk. The segment covers why the AI gender data gap is a financial blind spot, what it takes to build fairer AI systems, and why closing it is a leadership priority now.
Uplevyl Founder and CEO Shubhi Rao has been named to the Forbes 2026 50 Over 50: Innovation list, joining a cohort that includes a Nobel laureate, NASA's Science Mission Director, the Dean of MIT's School of Engineering, and CEOs of Dow, Cummins, HubSpot, and BNSF Railway. The recognition speaks to a founder story built not on inexperience with the status quo, but on decades inside complex global organizations that produced the pattern recognition to see what others had learned to accept as normal: that the intelligence layer connecting fragmented knowledge affecting women's lives and workplaces simply did not exist.
Shubhi Rao joins host Julia Lach on She Builds with AI: Women Shaping the Future to unpack what gender data actually means in practice and why AI systems fail women not because of technical shortcomings, but because women's lived experiences were never in the data to begin with. The conversation moves from the structural complexity of widowhood and wealth transfer to Uplevyl's survivor workplace rights platform, and makes a direct argument: women need to be in the rooms where AI is designed, tested, and governed.
