The majority of jobs will be affected by AI within the next 10 years. Women need to learn how to use this new technology if they don’t want to lose momentum in the job market.
The article is advocating for empowering more women to use AI, so when AI become good in the future they would be skillful in using this technology.
To quote from the article:
Women are less likely to adopt this new technology. This is a worrying finding since, according to a study by Oxford Economics and Cognizant, 90 per cent of jobs will be affected by generative AI by 2032. More specifically, between 2023 and 2032, the percentage of jobs with high exposure points to AI could increase sixfold, from eight per cent to 52 per cent.
A Goldman Sachs report provides a more precise idea of this impact according to job type and gender. The Kenan Institute has established that nearly 80 per cent of today’s female workers are in jobs exposed to automation via generative AI, compared with 58 per cent of men.
These jobs held by women that involve automation will not be replaced by artificial intelligence, per se, but by people who have mastered AI. At the moment, that means men. To reverse this trend, women are being urged to make efforts to redefine or increase their knowledge and skills in this area.

This seems pointless. So what if “women are less likely to adopt this new technology”? What’s the point? And how does one “master” AI even?
I’m all for it. I’m positive about AI in general. Just relating my experience trying to explain it to my wife.
