My husband is an engineer and an incredibly smart man.

Yet whenever conversations about AI come up, people naturally direct the questions to him. What does he think about the latest model? Has he tried this new tool? What's his take on AI?

And almost every time, he laughs and points them to me.

It's made me realize how many assumptions we still carry about who is likely to be experimenting with technology.

Because while he works in tech, I've been the one spending nights and weekends testing AI tools, automating workflows, building apps, experimenting with agents, and figuring out how AI can help with both work and life.

There's often an unspoken assumption that the most AI-savvy person in the room is probably the engineer. Probably the man.

But that's not always true.

One of the reasons I'm so passionate about helping more women get comfortable with AI is because expertise comes from curiosity and practice, not from fitting a stereotype.

The more women we have experimenting, building, and shaping these tools, the more representative the future becomes.
