This ILO research brief reveals that the impacts of generative AI on the world of work are not gender-neutral, finding that female-dominated occupations are almost twice as likely to be exposed to Gen AI as male-dominated ones.
At the same time, women remain underrepresented in AI-related jobs, limiting their access to emerging opportunities and influencing how technologies are designed and deployed. The brief highlights that the policy choices made today – including strengthening social dialogue, addressing occupational segregation and ensuring women’s representation in AI-related roles - will be critical to ensuring that technological change supports decent work and advances gender equality.
