Entrepreneur and television personality Trinny Woodall has said artificial intelligence could become a powerful tool for women looking to advance in their careers, after pausing operations at her cosmetics company to train staff in AI skills.
Woodall temporarily halted normal activity at her Trinny London business for two days earlier this year so that around 150 employees could take part in an intensive artificial intelligence workshop, aimed at helping staff understand how emerging technologies could support both their current roles and future careers.
The training programme was delivered by Lichen AI, which introduced employees to the fundamentals of working with AI systems and how they can be integrated into everyday business processes.
Woodall said she believes leaders have a responsibility to ensure staff are prepared for the technological shifts reshaping the modern workplace.
“AI is a way women can get ahead,” she said. “It gives us knowledge at our fingertips when we need it. When you have that access to information and insight, you walk into conversations with more confidence and authority.”
