NOMINATIONS NOW OPEN
100 WOMEN IN AI
2026 EDITION
The 100 Women in AI recognition list celebrates the women driving artificial intelligence forward — from research to entrepreneurship, driving growth and building the rails, to investing in the future and creating the rooms where things get done. Created by Flybridge and XFactor Ventures, this is the definitive annual recognition of women whose work is shaping how AI is built, adopted, and understood.
Why It MattersWomen have long been at the heart of AI's development — yet they remain underrepresented in the stories we tell.
This list exists to change that. Each year, we surface 100 honorees whose technical excellence, leadership, and real-world impact deserve a wider spotlight
