xìng bié性别duō yàng xìng多样性hěn很zhòng yào重要,tè bié特别shì是zài在kē jì科技lǐng yù领域。

Gender diversity is important, especially in the field of technology.

rú guǒ如果shè jì设计hé和jué dìng决定shì qíng事情de的rén人dà duō大多shì是nán xìng男性,hěn duō很多chǎn pǐn产品hé和guī zé规则jiù就kě néng可能hū shì忽视nǚ xìng女性hé和qí tā其他xìng bié性别qún tǐ群体de的xū yào需要,shèn zhì甚至dài lái带来wēi xiǎn危险。

If most of the people who design and make decisions are men, many products and rules may ignore the needs of women and other gender groups, and may even be dangerous.

bǐ rú比如,zǎo qī早期yī xiē一些ān quán安全cè shì测试zhǔ yào主要àn按nán xìng男性shēn tǐ身体lái来zuò做,jié guǒ结果nǚ xìng女性zài在chē huò车祸zhōng中kě néng可能gèng更bù不ān quán安全。

For example, some early safety tests were mainly done based on male bodies, so women could be less safe in car crashes.

xiàn zài现在hěn duō很多jì shù技术kàn qǐ lái看起来hěn很“zhōng lì中立”,qí shí其实bú shì不是zhè yàng这样,yīn wèi因为jì shù技术yě也huì会dài带zhe着shè huì社会lǐ里de的piān jiàn偏见。

Today, many technologies seem very “neutral,” but they are not, because technology also carries biases from society.

bǐ rú比如,rén liǎn shí bié人脸识别duì对shēn sè深色pí fū皮肤nǚ xìng女性de的shí bié识别cuò wù错误gèng更duō多,shēng chéng shì生成式rén gōng zhì néng人工智能yě也kě néng可能shuō chū说出bù不gōng píng公平de的huà话,shāng hài伤害nǚ xìng女性、kuà xìng bié zhě跨性别者hé和qí tā其他ruò shì qún tǐ弱势群体。

For example, facial recognition makes more mistakes when identifying dark-skinned women, and generative AI may also say unfair things that harm women, transgender people, and other vulnerable groups.

wǎng luò网络shàng上de的jiǎ假xiāo xī消息hé和chóu hèn仇恨yǔ yán语言,yě也huì会ràng让zhè xiē这些rén人zài xiàn在线shàng上hé和xiàn xià线下dōu都shòu dào受到gōng jī攻击。

False information and hate speech online can also cause these people to be attacked both online and offline.

yán jiū研究fā xiàn发现,yí gè一个shè huì社会rú guǒ如果ràng让bù tóng不同xìng bié性别、bù tóng不同bèi jǐng背景de的rén人dōu都néng能cān yù参与,huì会gèng更gōng píng公平,yě也fā zhǎn发展dé得gèng更hǎo好。

Research shows that when a society allows people of different genders and backgrounds to participate, it becomes fairer and develops better.

suǒ yǐ所以,zài在kē jì科技gōng sī公司、xué xiào学校、zhèng fǔ政府hé和huì yì会议zhōng中,wǒ men我们dōu都xū yào需要gèng更duō多bù tóng不同xìng bié性别de的rén人yì qǐ一起cān yù参与shè jì设计、tǎo lùn讨论hé和zuò做jué dìng决定。

So in technology companies, schools, governments, and conferences, we need more people of different genders to take part in design, discussion, and decision-making.

zhè yàng这样,kē jì科技cái néng才能gèng更ān quán安全、gèng更gōng píng公平,yě也gèng更shì hé适合měi每yí gè一个rén人。

Only then can technology become safer, fairer, and better suited to everyone.
