Surprise, surprise, 2022 was another year where men dominated the startup scene –, particularly in health and tech industries. 

Technology plays a crucial role in connecting our physical and digital worlds, bridging the gap between the tangible and intangible. Advancements in technology have blurred the lines between our physical and digital worlds, creating new opportunities for businesses and individuals alike. With the rise of innovative technologies, we can now connect with others, learn new skills, and access products and services from anywhere in the world.

We have a shocking statistic for you: 91.5% web developers are male, according to a 2020 global software development survey. And as of 2022, women claim only 26.7% of jobs across all tech fields. PwC discovered that only 27% of female students said they’d consider a career in tech - and only 3% would make tech their first choice. But 61% of male students said they’d consider the same tech career, so what’s going on? It’s proven that women in tech are quite beneficial and here’s why: 

With the rise of tools like ChatGPT, we’re sure you’ve heard of artificial intelligence (AI). But just in case you aren’t sure exactly what it is, we’ll break it down: it’s the process of using computers for actions that normally require human intelligence. But that’s not all. It also can do more than what humans can, such as processing immense amounts of data. There’s a lot of room for improvement with AI, but the goal is for it to be able to recognize patterns, make decisions, and judge like humans can. 

We’re sure you’ve heard of ChatGPT, a revolutionary tool that has taken the internet by storm since its release in late November 2022. It’s a natural language processing tool that’s powered by artificial intelligence technology; it was introduced by OpenAI, the same company that created DALLE2 and Whisper. Currently available to the public for free, it’s the fastest growing app of all time, reaching 100 million active users in just 2 months. 

“How do you begin writing a blogpost?” Ask this or any other question to ChatGPT and you will receive an answer generated by the artificial intelligence tool within a matter of seconds. Many of us have had conversations with chatbots before but this one is different: ChatGPT relies on the Generative Pre-trained Transformer, which is a family of language models, as well as deep learning in order to generate human-like responses to your questions. Your queries can range from “What does a UI designer do?” to “What are important onboarding questions for a UX designer?” and you can even ask ChatGPT to create anything you want. Your imagination is the only limit.
