Artificial intelligence and gender equality policy goals
This report from Vinnova is about challenges and opportunities for gender equality policy. AI is already affecting how decisions are made, how services are designed and how people meet in digital environments. The report shows that gender equality rarely guides the development of AI. With targeted investments, better data and cross-sectoral collaboration, AI can instead drive gender equality forward.

When gender equality meets innovation
Vinnova has worked purposefully with the government's mandate on gender mainstreaming in government agencies since 2015. The efforts have yielded results: project funding and assessment are more gender-equal than before, more women lead innovation projects and the grant rate for women corresponds to their share among the applicant. More and more project are also integrating gender perspectives and thus contributing to increased gender equality in society. This is stated in this report on Vinnova's work on gender mainstreaming during the years 2020–2025, which has been submitted to the government.

AI to promote gender equality - a learning summary 1
Mapping and analysis of how AI can promote gender equality
In collaboration with Ramboll and the Women in AI network, Vinnova has produced two reports that examine how artificial intelligence (AI) can be used as a tool to contribute to increased gender equality.
Abbot Liljero's report provides an overview of the AI applications that exist today that are applied to gender equality issues, nationally and internationally. The report also describes how AI could be applied to gender equality issues, what obstacles exist today, and suggestions for future initiatives.
The Women in AI report compiles the results of workshops held in different countries and organized by Women in AI. In these workshops, AI and gender experts participated to develop proposals for solutions linked to gender equality challenges in each country and where AI could be applied to help solve them.
