46th Salzburg Women's Salon

The 46th Salzburg Women's Salon addresses the question of how data controls our lives—and what blind spots arise in the process. Companies and authorities collect information daily, but which realities of women remain invisible? If perspectives from single parents, women with multiple burdens, or those with low incomes are missing, algorithms lead to biased results: for example, in credit approvals, advertising, or political decisions.

Data creates knowledge but can also reinforce discrimination. The evening invites us to critically question the power of analysis: Who benefits from the collected information? And how could fairer data collection be designed? A topic that concerns everyone—because data rarely lies, but its interpretation determines participation.
