Session: The AI Advantage Gap: Why performance alone no longer leads to promotion in tech
AI is reshaping how decisions are made, how value is measured, and who gets promoted. But while women in tech are adopting AI tools at record speed, many are still missing the upside: influence, visibility, and advancement.This talk exposes the emerging AI Advantage Gap: a growing divide between those who simply execute with AI and those who use it to gain leverage inside organizations. Drawing from real-world leadership experience inside large tech ecosystems, this session reframes AI not as a skill to master, but as a force that is quietly rewriting power dynamics at work.
Key Takeaways
- Why performance alone matters less in AI-driven organizations
- How visibility, trust, and decision proximity now outweigh output
- Where women are unintentionally over-investing effort with diminishing returns
- Practical shifts to move from being indispensable to being influential
