Women in Legal AI was founded by a C-suite leader from AmLaw and boutique law firms who, over 30 years, saw firsthand the pervasive and persistent omission of women in primary roles of power and influence, particularly in the world of VCs, startups, and technology.

Witnessing this bias continuing unchanged over several decades, borne out by the latest disappointing data,* compelled our founder to search for the causes and find solutions for women to become equal members in these sectors. WiLAI soon became our founder's labor of love.

And now, with the meteoric development of the most critical technology for humanity, who shapes AI will be as important as how it is shaped, and the legal aspects of AI will ultimately be even more important than the technology itself. We must include the voice of women in the development of legal AI.*

With the help of dedicated volunteers, WiLAI has grown into the largest and most comprehensive platform to uncover, address, and change the illogical and often unconscious bias against women founders, women funders, and women lawyers and leaders in legal AI. Promoting these experts is a paramount component of WiLAI's strategy to bring about the needed change. WiLAI's Newsroom is one of our tools.

We hope you will join Women in Legal AI to find and connect with other women who are leading in legal AI, to celebrate their accomplishments, and to support and empower the journey of all women in legal AI.
