The number of women in AI-related jobs has gone up. So has the number of Black and Latino employees in these roles. Google says it focused on hiring, retention, and career growth for these groups over the past year. The company also expanded partnerships with historically Black colleges and universities. These schools help feed talent into tech pipelines.

Google’s leadership said diverse teams lead to better technology. They believe different life experiences help spot bias and improve fairness in AI systems. The report notes progress in overall workforce diversity too. But gains in technical roles, especially in AI, stand out the most.

The company shared that it reviewed its hiring practices. It removed barriers that might have kept qualified candidates from joining. Managers now get training on inclusive leadership. Employees also take part in mentorship programs designed to support underrepresented talent.

Data in the report covers all U.S. employees. It breaks down representation by gender, race, and job category. Google says transparency keeps it accountable. It plans to keep sharing updates each year.

This year’s numbers show real movement. More voices are shaping how AI is built and used. Google says this shift matters not just for the company but for the future of technology itself.
