“We are at the center of one of the most transformative technological shifts of our lifetime. AI is not simply a tool — it is the foundation for the next era of economic growth, workforce evolution, industry transformation and global competitiveness,” WTC said. “As AI accelerates change across every sector, elevating the women who are building, shaping and humanizing this technology is essential. Their leadership will determine how AI strengthens Utah’s economy; transforms industries from health care to finance to creative work; creates pathways for the next generation of technologists; and ensures ethical, equitable, human-centered adoption.”
WTC said the list “is far more than recognition. It is a platform designed to amplify voices, expand opportunity, and help define Utah’s leadership in AI for years to come.”
