This article makes some nice points, and diverse teams do create better products. But there is actually more. Due to the nature of AI tech, it’s not just a strictly interface question (like pre-programmed answers in an assistant) if a product can be well designed without women. The data collection and learning methods are just as important and can make or break a diverse enough product. So if anything issues from not having women (or diverse teams in general) in product teams will just grow in magnitude.
