Another sobering report that women are using AI less than men. [UPDATE: I originally thought that women are at par with men in the area of marketing based on the size of the bars on the chart. However, given that the numbers are not specifically called out, I’m not sure.]
See Ethan Mollick’s post on this today, https://lnkd.in/gFgUQVHc
Similarly, from an article in the Economist, it showed that women are 16-20% less likely to use AI tools than men in similar roles.
It also said that high-achieving women are less likely to use AI. The researchers suggest this might be due to self-imposed restrictions, with one describing it as a “good girl thing” – the idea that
“I have to go through this pain, I have to do it on my own and I shouldn’t cheat and take short-cuts.”
I discussed this Economist article in a previous post (https://lnkd.in/gtv9K3RE) and you can see insightful comments from many women leaning in.
Using AI tools responsibly isn’t cheating. You guide AI with your unique expertise, knowledge, and data to get the most out of it, making your work faster, better, and innovative.
For AI to benefit everyone, we need diverse voices guiding it.
