So? Maybe women don't want to be AI researchers as much as men.

It is by far not only a matter of «want ».

Well. I think Marie Curie would disagree.
Are there artificial barriers to entry aside from skill and desire?
IMarie Curie did succeed but if you read her story you will understand how much she had to fight for something which was absolutely the norm for men. She had an incredible husband and received support from him and other men scientists. Skill and desire wouldn’t have been enough.

Right, but that was 150 years ago.
Absolutely nothing prevents women from getting into AI except themselves. At least in first world countries. Men are the ones who develop most scientific fields and trailblaze them and then women tend to enter later. That's the history of it.
