As artificial intelligence (AI) redorates the branches and automates the lightning speed, a new global study revealed an alarming truth: women are three times more likely than men, losing their jobs in II.A study conducted by the International Labor Organization (ILO), the United Nations Agency, shows that this fast wave of automation does not hit the same woman.The numbers tell about the big storyIn wealthy countries, about 10% of women occupying are highly at risk of replacing II. In contrast, only 3.5% of jobs fall into this category. It is not just about automation – it is about expanding gender gap in the workplace.So, what is the imbalance?Jobs are most at riskAccording to ILO, AI is especially likely to replace official and administrative roles – works such as driver, data entry, accountants and even some financial analysts and software developers. These positions are often repeated, based on the rules and very digitized, making them the perfect goals for tools such as generative AI.And guess what? These roles are mostly played by women.“Clericultural jobs face the highest impact of everyone,” the ILO said. Senior economist Gianin Berg adds: “We need clarity and context – not just a stir – so countries can prepare their labor markets for a more fair future.”This is not just low -level jobsIt is even more concerned with the fact that AI also begins to crawl into the fields with high qualifications. Working in software, finances and media is only in safety from automation-time at risk due to how digital and data they have become.This means that even women in high -paying, cognitively demanding role are not safe from exposure to II.
Gender gap is growing
Work that is relatively safe from II – both purifiers, dentists, performers and sanitary workers – is less likely that women. This creates a dangerous imbalance that can expand existing gaps in payment, employment and career development.Marek Troshinsky, co -author of ILO study, emphasizes the importance of this study: “This tool helps determine where Genai will have the greatest influence, so countries can prepare and protect workers.”
Call to a smarter policy
ILO calls on governments, employers and workers to take measures now. Purpose? To make sure the II helps to improve the quality of work and performance without leaving women behind.
Technology is not neutral – and also should not be our answer
This study is based on a powerful message: AI does not work in a vacuum. It reflects and enhances existing social structures – including prejudice.If we do not act now, II can deepen the inequality in the workforce. But with reasonable, inclusive policy and active planning, we can form a future where technology supports capital is no exception.EssenceThe AI revolution is here, and it changes how we work. The real question is: will we deepen a gender gap, or will we use it to create a more inclusive world of work?The answer depends on what we do next.
