This ILO study reveals that one in three jobs in high-income countries have some degree of exposure to gen AI. It also shows that AI is nearly three times more likely to automate women’s jobs than men’s and considers why, despite potential benefits, women engage with AI tools at a 25% lower rate than men. As most occupations consist of tasks that require human input, transformation of jobs is the most likely impact of gen AI and the key to unlocking the productivity benefits of gen AI therefore lies in the extent to which human expertise can be complemented with new technological capacities to reshape occupations and generate additional value.
