From The Desk Of Beatrix Lamarr: Issue #16
This year’s Super Bowl commercials were full of AI products. As AI shifts toward the mainstream, the reaction is mixed. Everyday folks remain unconvinced that AI belongs in their lives at all.
Who can blame them?
AI is a very mixed bag. With deepfakes galore, environmental impact, the rise of AI-powered violence online firmly targeted at women and marginalized people, humans have a deeper desire for trust and authenticity than ever.
But the AI-toothpaste isn’t going back into the tube. For women-led businesses already on the train (with reservations about ethics and the rest of it), there is still a widening gap between learning about AI and implementing it.
AI is mainstream enough to headline the Super Bowl and still unfamiliar enough that many female founders keep it at arm’s length.
💋 Deepfakes raise real concerns about trust and authenticity.
💋 Cultural backlash grows louder.
💋 Meanwhile, the operational gap widens.
AI is no longer optional infrastructure. But fluency with it is uneven, and confidence is lagging behind access.
In the coming weeks, AI For Her founder Emily Grace will unveil a live workshop designed to close that gap with a live workshop to build your AI assistant in under 90 minutes. Simple. Practical. Real results.
More details soon, but for now mark your calendar for March 4.

💄 The AI Skills Gap Is Widening
Here’s How Solopreneurs Can Catch Up

As solopreneurship is on the rise globally, a lack of AI literacy puts those businesses at risk.
Solopreneurs still lack the confidence to adopt and use AI tools effectively. While a one-person business may have limited time and budget, she can move fast (unlike enterprise businesses) and keep costs down by wearing multiple hats.
The fastest way to upskill in AI is not to study it in the abstract, but to redesign one core workflow so AI does the first 80% of the work, and the founder applies the final 20% of judgment, taste and accountability.
—Matt Rouif, CEO of Photoroom
The problem comes when solopreneurs continue to learn about, but not implement AI into their workflows.
