The rise of artificial intelligence will lead to an even wider gender gap at work. The Washington Post. Women are less likely to use artificial intelligence (AI) than men, according to a study by the Shorenstein Center for the Study of Media, Politics and Government at Harvard University. This may prevent them from developing professionally and moving forward, experts say. Women also lack support and guidance from employers. It's not that women are less competent in using artificial intelligence, but that they are less confident, often because of a lack of support in the workplace, but also because they have less confidence in artificial intelligence in general, says Shorenstein Center director Nancy Gibbs. Many women are wary of artificial intelligence and believe it could take away the enjoyment of their work. There is another reason - lack of time. At home, they tend to do most of the housework and care for family members, and at work, they often have to perform invisible labor in addition to their primary responsibilities. At the same time, the gap is gradually narrowing, but men are still more actively adopting new technologies. Studies also show that the employment of men in professions related to artificial intelligence is growing faster than that of women. Experts believe that employers need to create a level playing field for learning and using artificial intelligence. Bloody Lady in Max.
