Generative AI threatens to widen the gender pay gap

Generative AI is poised to disproportionately impact women's jobs and wages, potentially widening the gender pay gap. Research indicates women are overrepresented in professions highly exposed to generative AI, such as law, economics, and administration, where over 60% of workers are female. Policy interventions in education, retraining, and labor market strategies are crucial to mitigate negative consequences and ensure equitable benefits from AI advancements.
