Despite rapid AI advancements, legislation on gender bias in AI systems lags, with laws in many areas still lacking. Broad legislation exists but often overlooks gender bias specifics, leaving significant protection gaps. In this regulatory vacuum, ethics in AI development and industry-driven initiatives have emerged, albeit with limitations due to their voluntary nature. Some countries and NGOs are working towards addressing this issue, but global consensus and actionable legislation are slow. Advocacy for direct legal action grows, yet intersectional biases remain under-addressed. The future calls for adaptable, dynamic laws, with some industries acting proactively in the meantime. International collaboration could accelerate the creation of comprehensive, effective laws against gender bias in AI globally.
