According to an article in the Financial Times, women are underrepresented in the workplace when it comes to artificial intelligence (AI). Data shows that they are 25% less likely to have basic digital skills compared to men. This trend is also confirmed by data from the International Labor Organization and the UN, with women being heavily overrepresented in professions at risk of automation. For example, in Denmark, a 20% gender gap in the use of ChatGPT is reported.
However, Deloitte forecasts that by the end of 2025, the use of AI at work may equalize or even surpass that of men. But they warn that AI models may contain embedded biases. The current situation clearly shows the need for targeted initiatives to provide women with access to digital skills, infrastructure, and support. Not only will this reduce inequality, but employers will also benefit from better innovation, productivity, and sustainability.
