CoinDesk Reveals Methodology Behind Top Women in Web3 & AI List

CoinDesk has released its inaugural Top Women in Web3 & AI list, highlighting influential women in blockchain and artificial intelligence. This recognition reflects two significant technological revolutions: the decentralization of blockchain and the transformative power of AI.

Key Highlights

Blockchain and AI are converging to enhance data verification, distributed computing, and digital identity.
Major AI firms are adopting blockchain for data provenance; crypto projects incorporate AI for fraud detection and trading.
A new field, decentralized artificial intelligence (deAI), is emerging, leveraging blockchain's computational power to train AI models.
The gender gap in tech persists, with women underrepresented in blockchain and AI despite their critical contributions.
The selected 50 women are leaders in building technology protocols, platforms, and governance frameworks.
Collaboration between CoinDesk and Proof of Talk facilitated this initiative, emphasizing diverse perspectives in selection.

The list was compiled through a nomination process that garnered over 300 submissions, reviewed by a panel of judges from various sectors. The aim was to acknowledge not just technical innovation but also expertise in product development, business strategy, and ethical considerations as these fields advance.
