Résumé
En 1843, Ada Lovelace rédigeait le premier algorithme informatique de l’histoire. Pourtant, ce domaine qu’elle a contribué à fonder demeure, paradoxalement, encore largement masculin. Aujourd’hui, à l’ère de l’intelligence artificielle (IA), cette sous-représentation des femmes contribue à la persistance de biais algorithmiques qui reproduisent et amplifient les inégalités existantes. Cette revue des écrits examine la sous-représentation des femmes dans les technologies de l’information (TI) et de l’IA au Québec. Les résultats montrent certains facteurs expliquant cette disparité et présentent plusieurs axes d’intervention stratégiques. Ces leviers sont essentiels pour développer un écosystème technologique québécois plus inclusif.

Abstract
In 1843, Ada Lovelace wrote the first computer algorithm in history. Yet the field she helped establish remains paradoxically, still largely male-dominated. Today, in the era of artificial intelligence (AI), this underrepresentation of women contributes to perpetuating algorithmic biases that reproduce and amplify existing inequalities. This literature review examines women’s underrepresentation in information technology (IT) and AI in Quebec. The findings highlight several key factors that help explain this disparity and outline a series of strategic intervention pathways. These levers are essential to building a more inclusive technological ecosystem in Quebec.
Keywords:
- Women in technology,
- Discriminatory biases,
