New research predicts women’s jobs will be more disrupted by artificial intelligence than men’s. According to research from the University of North Carolina’s Kenan-Flagler Business School, 79% of working women are “in occupations susceptible to disruption and automation,” more than +20pts more than working men. Women make up a larger percentage of employees in jobs like healthcare, education, and administration, which can be or already have been impacted by AI, whereas men make up more of blue-collar position that cannot be done by AI. However, some experts see this as an opportunity more than a threat; AI can only generate what it already knows, so humans will always be necessary to correct and improve its output. YPulse’s AI Unpacked trend report shows young men and women are equally likely to think AI will impact job opportunities in the future. (CNN)
