AI threatens to widen gender gap for regional girls
Artificial intelligence could disrupt more than just technology – it could widen the gender gap between boys and girls studying science, technology, engineering and maths. Women 4 STEM spokeswoman Sharon Samson issued the warning on Friday, while calling for industry, educators and governments to do more to encourage girls to study science and to support women to stay in STEM careers. AI technology has become a major force in Australian business, with the National AI Centre finding 40 per cent of small to medium enterprises use the technology. But its widespread adoption could put girls at a further disadvantage, Ms Samson said, as they were less likely to study technology subjects due to cultural biases, narrow framing, and a lack of role models. "What we're noticing is that AI is (widening) some of the gender gap," she said. "While we're desperately trying to work with the government to put in place measures to ensure we close the gap, it is widening behind us." Only three in five girls were likely to choose a STEM subject in grades six to eight, according to a survey by YouthInsight, compared to four in five boys. Ms Samson said AI could exacerbate the problem for girls as they were increasingly choosing to study in areas "ripe for disruption" by the technology, including accounting, clerical work, bookkeeping and retail jobs. The gap was more stark in regional areas of Australia, she said, where some educational facilities did not have access to generative AI technology or teachers trained to use it. "Some schools are nailing it – they've got a great teacher, they've got a great curriculum, and they're consuming all the wonderful outcomes," Ms Samson said. "Other schools are starved – they don't have the right folks in there leading the technology and STEM fields." A study by the federal Education Department found high school students in remote locations were about 1.5 years behind their city peers in science. Women 4 STEM has invited 250 students from 13 regional schools to participate in its annual Go Girl, Go for IT event, which is expected to host 2000 students at Deakin University on August 13. The event will come months after the federal government announced $45 million to fund 10 projects in the Building Women's Careers Program designed to provide education, partnership and networking opportunities for women in male-dominated industries. The program is also designed to address a skills shortages in STEM-based fields, including engineering where The Insight Centre predicts a shortage of 200,000 roles by 2040.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas Becomes the Definition of ‘Go Girl, Give Us Nothing' on the March 2025 Cover of British Harper's Bazaar
Lydia Slater, who was appointed editor-in-chief of British Harper's Bazaar in 2020, continues to demonstrate some serious pull when it comes to securing cover stars for the magazine. Last year, Slater gave up the cover to the likes of Victoria Beckham, Lupita Nyong'o, Venus Williams, Kate Winslet, and Sienna Miller. Lily-Rose Depp starred on last month's cover, while Priyanka Chopra Jonas graces the cover of British Harper's Bazaar for March 2025. Certainly no stranger down at your local newsstand, the Indian actress and film producer receives the quintessential Bazaar cover treatment as she poses before the lens of photographer Alexi Lubomirski. In the sun-lit cover image, Priyanka works a sheer, silk, and beaded creation from the Fendi Spring 2025 collection by Kim Jones (as selected for the occasion by cover shoot stylist Miranda Almond). 'What is Priyanka Chopra promoting? It's impressive how she keeps landing big covers with such a flop career,' immediately discredited Hchloe. Sharing the same sentiments was blueorchid. 'If you had a gun to my head, I would not be able to name a single project she's ever been in. Why is she pushed so hard?' they asked. 'This cover is better than her career here in the states,' laughed justaguy. 'YAWN. I am also bored of Alexi Lubomirski. Not impressed by his photography. This cover sucks,' critiqued forum member proseccotabis. 'I do love the warmth the cover radiates, but overall it's all just so flat, boring, and lifeless. Priyanka Chopra is the definition of 'go girl, give us nothing' here,' voiced vogue28. MModa agreed, echoing: 'I like the styling and warm hues. However, the cover photograph looks like a mug shot. There must have been a much better option!' See more of Priyanka Chopra from the British Harper's Bazaar March 2025 cover shoot and join the conversation, here.
