Hollywood has brought to life humanity's long dream of building machines that resemble us. Through a century of stories they help us dream, get inspired and progress the field of artificial intelligence by bringing it from obscurity into the public domain. But it has also contributed to entrenching gender inequality in the Al industry.

A recent study from Cambridge analyzed 142 AI Hollywood movies:

• none of them was solely direct by women (2 co-directors were female)
• only 8% of AI scientists are female in AI Hollywood movies. (This is significantly less than we find in our current workforce!)
• the first female AI creator was displayed at 1997
• inclusive perspective is (again) fully missing

How has Hollywood sharpened the public perception of AI?

How can the movie industry influence the future narrative of AI?

These and more questions will be addressed "A New Narrative for AI"
