Gender Discrimination at Workplace: Do Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) Have Opinions About It

The gender discrimination problem started from day one when they entered professional offices, factories, businesses, institutions, and other organizations. Despite strict regulations and laws, gender-based discrimination can be seen in almost all working places. However, its types and gravity may change with the place, sectors, or development level of a country.

The women promoted to managerial level always remained lesser in number. Even the fellow women at senior positions discriminate their gender. This reveals the peak of the problem.

Finally, a set of gender discrimination mitigating strategies has been suggested in this article.
