During this event, young people, entrepreneurs, and specialists gathered to address challenges related to gender equity, diversity in sexual orientation, ethnic and cultural backgrounds in Latin America and the Caribbean. Jenny had the opportunity to share her perspective and reflections on the #STEM sector and the importance of closing gender gaps in this industry. Here are her reflections during her intervention: Low Female Economic Participation: Women’s economic participation is limited and unfortunately has worsened since the pandemic. In STEM, access is even more restrictive. Why does this gap matter? Not only for justice and equity but fundamentally because the inclusion of all sectors of society is a boost to economic growth, which is staggered and the ability to innovate, where Chile has regressed in recent years. Gender Gap in Key Positions: In crucial fields such as #AI, barely a fifth of positions are occupied by women. Inequalities are deeply rooted in the STEM industry. The causes? A mix of stereotypes, expectations, and a lack of programs that bring women closer to scientific fields. Prejudices in Education: A study conducted in Chile indicates that girls are often discouraged in scientific subjects and face professional expectations that steer them towards humanities and social assistance fields. How do we change the paradigm in a comprehensive way? We must not forget that the majority of teachers are women. Threats of Labor Transformation: The transformation of employment in the technological age could disproportionately affect women, as acquiring the necessary skills could be problematic. Inclusive Training Programs: To close the gender gap in STEM, it is essential to implement programs that allow women to participate on an equal footing and develop their careers in technological fields, starting from childhood. Competitiveness and Growth: The inclusion of women in STEM is not only a matter of justice and equity but also essential to boost competitiveness and economic growth in our region. Diverse perspectives enrich innovation and decision-making.

Mois Navon, leading Israeli high-tech expert.

Founder of Mobileye – the startup that bought the automotive visual system that fueled the autonomous vehicle revolution – rose to fame in 2017 by selling the chip he developed to Intel for $15 billion, the largest high-tech sale in the Israeli history. Today, the sophisticated ADAS (Advanced Driving Assistant System) is found in 140 million vehicles and dominates 70% of the market. His first taste of technological development came while he was finishing his studies at UCLA, United States, working at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), where he helped create an innovative processor tube to detect cancer cells. Subsequently, he began a computerized simulator for the US Strategic Defense Initiative’s Star Wars anti-missile program. While at IBM, they developed high-tech products, including smart displays for commercial airlines, algorithmic chips for pay TV, and fiber optic chip networks. Throughout this process, Navon developed a strong connection with Jewish spirituality. After the sale of Mobileye he decided to become a rabbi. He is currently finishing his PhD at Bar Ilan University’s Department of Jewish Philosophy, where his thesis deals with applying Jewish philosophy to address ethical questions in the field of artificial intelligence. «I am an engineer by profession and a rabbi by passion,» he has said repeatedly in talks he gives around the world. Its central themes are the future of cities, the ethical dilemmas of AI, autonomous cars and robots. His talk «Innovation, Autonomous Cars and Purpose», in which he narrates his life path, has filled stages around the world.   [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
