AI poses a bigger threat to women's work, than men's: Report

Jobs traditionally done by women are more vulnerable to the impact of artificial intelligence than those done by men, especially in high-income countries, a report by the United Nations' International Labour Organization showed on Tuesday.

It found 9.6% of traditionally female jobs were set to be transformed compared with 3.5% of those carried out by men as AI increasingly takes on administrative tasks and transforms clerical jobs, such as secretarial work.

Human involvement will still be required for many tasks - and roles are more likely to be radically changed rather than eliminated, the report said.

Jobs in the media, software and finance-related roles are also at the forefront of change as generative AI expands its learning abilities.
