Congress has a plethora of technology policy challenges to resolve, from artificial intelligence systems to data privacy to children's online safety, but there isn't much time on the legislative calendar before the November election begins.

According to Skillsoft, 31% of women in technology are considering leaving their organizations in the next 12 months. The main reason for this is poor management, followed by lack of training and a desire for better compensation. The survey received more than 500 responses from women working in the technology industry, technology organizations and companies, and technology-related roles. “85% of survey respondents say there is a gender disparity within their teams, and 38% are dissatisfied with their growth potential. We are at a tipping point where the gender gap could widen significantly due to the risk of attrition,” said Orla…
