She Shapes AI is gaining recognition worldwide for reimagining who builds the future of technology.

Recent features highlight our Founder & CEO, Dr Julia Stamm, and the mission driving our global ecosystem.

  • Women talkin' 'bout AI: Why the AI Future isn't Already Written

    Dr Julia Stamm joins Jessica Parker and Kimberly Becker on Women Talkin' 'Bout AI to interrogate the inevitability narrative around AI and why it is a choice, not a fact. She makes the case that most AI adoption strategies are measuring the wrong things entirely, and that the real cost of poorly implemented AI is playing out quietly inside organisations — in workloads, trust, and the social fabric of teams. The conversation also tackles the persistent double standard women founders face when building for-profit ventures, and why asking who benefits from a story being told a certain way is the most important question leaders can ask right now.

  • AI for Equity : Whose AI is it Anyway?

    Dr Julia Stamm joins Jenny Garrett OBE and Leah Garrett on AI for Equity to explore what it actually takes to build AI ecosystems that are inclusive by design, not by accident. Coming to AI through social science rather than engineering, Julia brings a distinctly human lens to questions of power, visibility, and responsibility — examining why the same narrow group of voices continue to dominate the conversation and what it means to change that. The episode covers the role of education and regulation in responsible AI use, and the strategic fluency women leaders need to engage with AI on their own terms.

  • GO! Reboot Your Life: Escaping the Certainty Trap in the Age of AI

    Dr Julia Stamm joins Lisa Thee on GO! Reboot Your Life to examine why collapsing trust and worker disengagement are the real obstacles to AI's potential and why the technology itself is rarely the problem. Drawing on concrete examples from healthcare, safety, and climate, Julia makes the case that the most effective AI solutions begin with deeply understood human problems, not with the tools. The conversation covers what responsible leadership in an uncertain AI landscape actually looks like, and why asking hard questions is not a barrier to progress but the foundation of it.

  • The AI Sustainability Podcast: Women in AI

    Dr Julia Stamm joins Nina Benoit on The AI Sustainability Podcast to challenge the dominant narrative around the gender gap in AI adoption. Rather than a skills or access problem, Julia points to research showing that women's lower adoption is driven by well-founded concerns about AI's broader societal risks, from mental health and climate impacts to privacy violations and labour disruption. The conversation covers why structural barriers matter more than individual ones, why representation in AI development is a quality issue as much as a fairness one, and what She Shapes AI is doing to ensure women have real influence over how the technology develops.

  • TEDx Talk: Why Certainty Is the Problem, Not the Solution

    In her TEDx talk, Dr Julia Stamm argues that as AI accelerates towards an uncertain future, the instinct to seek certainty is precisely what holds us back. She offers a concrete framework for reclaiming agency over the technologies we build, making the case that a future AI truly serves humanity requires diverse voices, aligned values, and the courage to act without a map. Drawing on her career spanning the European Commission, the G20, and her founding of She Shapes AI, Julia shows what it looks like to stop predicting the future and start shaping it.

  • The Diplomat's Cabinet: How can AI development serve everyone, not just the few?

    Our Founder, Dr Julia Stamm, joins The Diplomat's Cabinet to make the case that inclusion must be built into the architecture of AI governance, not added as an afterthought. Drawing on her research, she examines how power disparities, geography, and gender are already embedded in how new technologies are created, and what that means for international accountability and trust. The conversation is a clear-eyed look at why structural change, not good intentions, is what responsible AI governance actually requires.
