Looking to broaden your sources for reading and writing about AI in the new year? This post is for you.

Why create this list?

A recent article on Substackers who write about AI profiled 10 men - and 0 non-men. I messaged the author privately to express my disappointment that the list was all men. He responded kindly and quickly that the oversight wasn’t intentional; he just wasn’t connected yet to women writing here on Substack about AI.

I’ve seen starter lists of women in STEM on sites like Bluesky. But I realized I don’t know of any lists for women in AI on Substack yet. So I’m creating one here to make it easier for people of all genders to find women and non-binary people who write on Substack about AI, ML, ethics, governance, data privacy, and related technology. Writer locations are based on LinkedIn profiles, where known.

I seeded this list with 34 people I follow and their publications. I’m updating it as suggestions come in or I discover more or new writers. Please suggest others, or nominate yourself if appropriate!

Update Dec. 21, 2024: I used Datawrapper.de to create an interactive map to show the countries, where known, for the writers listed here. I also created a searchable, filterable table to make it easier to find a person or country in the list. (Use the list below the map and table for live links to Substack.)

These initial 34 writers are roughly in the somewhat-alphabetical order that Substack shows them in my ‘Reads’ list.
