This report by the World Economic Forum, in collaboration with LinkedIn, addresses the challenges and opportunities of an AI-driven economic transformation from a gender parity perspective. It explores scenarios in innovation, workforce, and skilling where AI augmentation can support gender parity and inclusive growth. The report then considers how gen AI is reshaping jobs and career paths differently for men and women, finding that women are more likely to hold roles disrupted by gen AI and less likely to experience augmentation. Despite these differences, the AI talent landscape is evolving, with more women acquiring AI-related skills in response. The paper concludes by reflecting on how augmentation can impact talent development strategies and emphasises that balanced workforce pipelines depend on equitable hiring, evaluation, and promotion practices.
