"Women are being warned they could get left behind by advancements in technology after a study revealed they are twice as likely to hold jobs under threat from AI. The findings showed that female-dominated roles, such as administration, bookkeeping, cashiers, and office staff, are more vulnerable to job loss as a result of automation. To compound the issue, women were also found to be 20 per cent less likely to engage with generative AI tools than men,"
"Currently, only 22 per cent of the people in the global AI talent pool are women, according to the recent AI Gender Gap Report, produced by consulting firm Credera. Supermums, a social enterprise aimed at helping women break into technology, is now warning that these findings show a real risk of women getting left behind as technology continues to advance."
The Independent sends journalists to report on developing stories across reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, funded by donations and kept free of paywalls. A study revealed women are twice as likely to hold jobs under threat from AI, with female-dominated roles such as administration, bookkeeping, cashiers, and office staff particularly vulnerable to automation. Women were found 20 per cent less likely to engage with generative AI tools, and only 22 per cent of the global AI talent pool are women. Supermums warns these trends risk leaving women behind, and AI has been reported to discriminate against women and marginalised groups in hiring, lending and healthcare.
