Study shows AI puts jobs mostly held by women at risk

Per The Star

As the popularity of OpenAI's ChatGPT grew, most people also started to fear how the AI tool could potentially threaten certain jobs. Now, a recent study by Revelio Labs showed how AI could place jobs that were mostly held by women at risk.

The study by Revelio Labs, a human resources analytics firm,  found that artificial intelligence was positioned to replace jobs across different fields, from screenwriters to financial advisors. It also pointed out that the tech would "disproportionately replace jobs typically held by women."

Revelio Labs economist Hakki Ozdenoren gave a statement regarding the study and pointed out the "biases" reportedly rooted in society. The statement also specified how AI's impact on gender lines.

Ozdenoren: “The distribution of genders across occupations reflects the biases deeply rooted in our society, with women often being confined to roles such as administrative assistants and secretaries... Consequently, the impact of AI becomes skewed along gender lines.”

The jobs identified to be replaced by AI were based on the National Bureau of Economic Research's study. Revelio Labs then decided to identify the gender breakdown of the positions mentioned and found that women held a majority.

These included the following positions.

  • Bill and account collectors
  • Payroll clerks
  • Executive secretaries

Ozdenoren: “Moving forward, providing retraining opportunities will be key for women to navigate the evolving job landscape... By doing so, we can capitalise on the potential of AI while leveraging their valuable skills and expertise,”

It was also recently found out that should ChatGPT's technology replace software engineers, India was the country to be most affected, as it had over 5 million software engineers.

In February, it was also reported that single women owned and occupied more homes than single men in the US. Only two states were where single men occupied a larger percentage of homes, namely in North Dakota and South Dakota.
