More additions are expected soon - please subscribe to for updates and bookmark this permanent main page:
To anyone listed: I’ll be glad to include or correct any annotations, demographics, locations, flags, pronouns, Bluesky or podcast column links, etc. you’d like to share here. Just comment or DM me.
Or if for some reason you don’t want your name or publication or a link in this directory, let me know and I’ll remove you.
Help: Who else should be in this list?
Backstory: origin of this directory
A recent [Dec. 19, 2024] 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 generally based on LinkedIn profiles, where known, or confirmed via DM with the writers.
For more background on this directory, see my April 12, 2025 article or my guest post in
Stella Fosse
’s blog, “Women in Artificial Intelligence”.
History: how it’s evolved
I seeded this directory in December 2024 with a list of 34 women I already followed and their publications. I update 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. (The bulleted lists below the map and table also give live links to Substack.)
Update Feb. 4, 2025: The table now includes live hyperlinks for writer names, newsletters, and LinkedIn profiles. New linked columns for books, podcasts, and Bluesky handles are gradually being populated. A column for Topics is also being filled in.
Update Feb. 20, 2025: New world map created with more granular locations. Table and this page updated to use people’s preferred country/flag identities.
Update March 2, 2025: Created US state map (state is not known for about 10% of US writers). Newsletter topics are now included for all writers.
Woohoo!! So excited to see this group growing, feels amazing to be part of our expanding Women in AI club! 💪✨
Thank you! 💜
