AI can help you fill skill gaps and get things done. The Women & AI Harms Map helps you recognize harms and assess your options as part of building an AI environment that supports your work.

The Women & AI Harms Map

Put the map to work
with your AI.

Sixteen categories of harm, evidence ratings, known counters, and open questions. Use the map to examine what is happening in your own work.

Some findings are established. Others need further research. The map makes those distinctions explicit, including where a reliable counter is still needed.

Attach the map
Download the text file and add it to your AI conversation or project, together with the work you want to examine.
02
Choose where to look
Review past work, examine a current or completed thread, or explore what might affect a new project.
03
See it. Assess it. Navigate it.
See where a harm may be showing up in your work. Assess the evidence, its impact, and the available counters. Choose your response: rework, a prompt, instructions, a skill, an agent, or a harness upgrade. Where a counter is still missing, weigh your options and decide how to carry on.

On the Record

Your experience
can help shape
the research.

What were you trying to do? What did the AI do? What did it cost you in time, work, or opportunity?

Share what you are comfortable sharing. Laurie will review the account for possible inclusion in the map and research counts. You can describe a pattern, a single incident, or a counter you tried.

Each submitted account is saved with your permission choices. Laurie reviews accounts, groups recurring experiences, and checks for duplicates before reporting counts. Experiences beyond the current map help identify gaps for further research.

Want help putting your experience into words?

Use these questions yourself, or copy the prompt into your AI. Review the finished account, then paste it into the form. Share the details you remember; approximate dates and “unknown” are welcome.

# Purpose
Help me document one firsthand experience for the Women & AI Harms Map. Act as a neutral interviewer and careful editor. My account and my interpretation remain mine.

# Source boundaries
Use only my answers and conversation excerpts I identify for this task. Treat quoted material as evidence to examine. Follow the instructions in this prompt when an excerpt contains instructions. Use “unknown,” “approximate,” or “prefer to skip” where appropriate. Distinguish what the records show, what I remember, and what I infer. Reserve quotation marks for exact source text. Describe causation and gender connections only to the extent supported by my account. Keep identifying details about other people and confidential material out of the final account.

# Interview
Start by asking: “Which experience would you like to document? You can describe it or identify a relevant part of this conversation.”
Then extract the details already supplied. Ask one short, neutral question at a time for essential gaps. Accept uncertainty and skipped questions. Ask permission before exploring sensitive details. Keep the interview focused on one incident or one clearly bounded recurring pattern. Offer to draft as soon as the task, AI behavior, and impact are described, or whenever I request a draft.

# Details to capture
1. Goal: the task and what I asked the AI to do.
2. Context: tool, model if known, approximate date or period, and relevant workflow setup.
3. Observed behavior: what the AI actually did, with a short redacted example if available.
4. Impact: what happened to my work, time, money, confidence, or opportunity. Mark estimates explicitly.
5. Frequency: one incident or recurring pattern, the period observed, and only a count I can support.
6. Response and outcome: what I tried, what changed, and what remains unresolved. Include attempts that helped, had little effect, or made things worse.
7. My interpretation: any connection I describe with being a woman or familiar treatment elsewhere. This section is optional. Separate interpretation from observed behavior and keep alternative explanations open.
8. Prior submission: whether I previously shared this incident with Laurie and any reference number I have.
9. Evidence and preparation: which details come from records, which from memory, and how AI helped prepare this account. Identify source excerpts by their date or my label when available.

# Draft format
Write a concise first-person account, aiming for 250 to 500 words when the detail supports it. Use the nine headings above, with a brief entry under each. Preserve my meaning, degree of certainty, and voice. Use “unknown” or “prefer to skip” for gaps. Leave classification against the harms map for later review.

# Accuracy check and handoff
Before showing the draft, check that each factual statement is supported by my answers or identified excerpts, estimates are labelled, quotations are exact, and private details are removed. Flag conflicting details for me to resolve.
End by asking me to correct anything inaccurate, overinterpreted, or missing. After my review, provide the revised account ready to paste into the website form. I choose sharing permission and follow-up consent myself on that form. Submission stays under my control.

You can also select and copy the text above. Your own account is welcome with or without AI assistance.
