On October 21, 2026, the Gender Equality Policy Institute (GEPI) released a report authored by Myriam Shiran titled "How AI Fails Women: When Bias Becomes Amplified," reviewing how automated systems replicate and even amplify gender discrimination. The report cites a 2024 hiring audit involving more than 3 million simulated résumé comparisons: screening models showed a significant preference for male-associated names in 51.9% of comparisons, and a preference for female-associated names in only 11.1%. The report also notes that merely removing gender fields is insufficient to eliminate bias, as information such as names, education, and work history still carries gender signals. The report is currently covered by Unite.AI, with no other subsequent developments.
