AI & Jobs — Women will be Most Impacted

The consulting firm, Credera took an in depth look at the impact of artificial intelligence on jobs and found women will be at the highest risk for losing theirs. Jobs like administrative assistants, office clerks, bookkeepers, cashiers and others are the most likely to be replaced by GenAI tools.

Brian Peret is the director of a software engineering company called the CodeBoxx Academy. He said AI is going to be the biggest economic revolution in decades.

“Leaving 50% of our talent pool on the sidelines isn't just a moral failing; it is a strategic error,” Peret said. “To optimize our potential as a society, we must ensure that the power of AI is placed firmly in the hands of everyone, leaving no potential latent and no value unrecognized.”

Here’s more:

• Some surveys have 50% of men using AI tools than women
• Just 33% of women say they are regularly using AI tools
• Women are 13% less likely than men to adopt AI tools even when given an opportunity
• 25% of women are very concerned about AI ethics
• 18% of women are anxious about making technical errors when using automated systems like AI

“Increasing the diversity of AI development teams is seen as a crucial step,” the Credera study concluded. “Bringing more women into AI can help reduce gender bias in algorithms. Diverse teams are more likely to question assumptions, notice bias in training data, and design products that serve a broader user base. The goal is to ensure AI-driven tools mitigate human biases rather than magnify them.”
