AI "threatens" women's professions - They are three times more at risk than men of being replaced by technology
A new United Nations report shows that women's jobs in high-income countries are more likely to be replaced or impacted by artificial intelligence (AI).
According to the new study, automation through innovative technology could replace about 10% of female-dominated occupations in high-income countries, compared to just 3.5% of occupations held by men.
The biggest difference between professions is observed precisely in developed countries, where 41% of women's jobs could be exposed to artificial intelligence, compared to 28% of men's jobs.
Overall, the report estimates that one in four employees worldwide works in an occupation with some degree of exposure to new technology.
To reach these conclusions, researchers surveyed 1,640 people in Poland from various professional fields and the data was analyzed by a group of international experts.
Based on this data, an artificial intelligence model was developed, which assessed how automatable around 2,500 occupations and over 29,000 job tasks are.
The study found that administrative professions such as data entry operators, word processing operators, accountants and financial clerks are the most at risk, due to the nature of the tasks they involve, such as taking notes at meetings or organizing agendas.
Other professions with a high level of exposure to technology are web and media developers, database specialists, financial and IT workers.
The report notes that these statistics reflect the potential for exposure, but do not yet represent actual job losses. “Full replacement by artificial intelligence remains limited. The vast majority of occupations involve tasks that require human intervention, so the most likely impact is the transformation of the nature of work, not its disappearance,” the report says.
According to the study, factors such as technological limitations, lack of infrastructure and appropriate skills can significantly affect the level of technology adoption and its impact on the labor market.
For this reason, the report calls on governments, employers and unions to build comprehensive strategies to protect the quality of work and increase productivity in the most at-risk sectors.
