We're at risk of a two-tier AI economy if we don't bridge the AI gender gap, expert says | Fortune
""This is not a lack of competence," Bolis told Fortune. "This is discernment, in terms of how we want our economies and our societies to evolve.""
""I'm really worried that we're at risk of creating a two-tiered AI economy if we don't engage women more actively and really respect the unique skills and expertise that they bring to the field, skills that are critically important to making sure that AI evolves safely and equitably," Bolis said."
AI is advancing rapidly, with companies integrating technologies like Anthropic's Claude Code. However, women are disproportionately affected, as their jobs are more likely to be automated. They also adopt AI at a lower rate than men. This underrepresentation in AI leadership and development raises concerns about long-term economic consequences. Experts emphasize that women's hesitancy to use AI stems from discernment rather than competence, highlighting the need for their active engagement in AI's evolution to ensure equitable outcomes.
