AI poses bigger threat in jobs with more women, study finds

Q

A new study has revealed that employees in occupations traditionally dominated by women are particularly vulnerable to the impact of artificial intelligence on the US workforce. Researchers at the Brookings Institution and the Centre for the Governance of AI found that more than 6 million workers, mostly in clerical and administrative roles, could struggle to adapt if their jobs are disrupted by AI.

These roles have historically been female-dominated, and the study's findings underscore the fact that women's vulnerability is not necessarily a reflection of their competence as workers. Rather, it is a result of the job functions they perform. The report highlights the need for policymakers and employers to consider the impact of AI on these occupations and develop strategies to support workers who may be displaced.

On the other hand, workers in fields such as marketing, finance, and science, which require technical and managerial skills, are better positioned to adapt to AI-related job loss. These individuals can leverage a wider range of skills to pivot into new roles with comparable earnings.

While experts acknowledge that AI is likely to have a profound impact on the workplace, the current evidence suggests that its impact on the US labor market appears relatively minor. However, workers would be wise to take proactive steps to prepare themselves for the changing job landscape.

According to experts, experimenting with technology and developing new skills can help individuals stand out in their fields and increase their productivity. By taking control of their own career development, workers can better navigate the impact of AI on the workforce.
 
I'm literally SHAKING just thinking about it... I mean, what if your entire job is just gone?! The thought of all those women who are already struggling to make ends meet, having their jobs taken away from them because some algorithm says so... it's just not right 🤯💔. And the worst part is that people think they can just "pivot" into a new role like it's no big deal? Newsflash: it's not that easy! You've got bills to pay, families to provide for... you can't just pick up and start over because some fancy tech company says your job is obsolete 😩. We need to be supporting these workers, not just talking about how we're "prepared" for the future 🙄.
 
just had a thought... what about all these women who are already super busy juggling work & family life? AI is gonna make things even harder for them 🤯📊 they need support & resources to upskill ASAP so they don't get left behind 💼👩‍💻
 
AI is gonna change everything 🤖. I mean, it's not all bad news, but for those women in admin roles... let's be real, they're probably already dealing with so much already. Burnout, workload, etc. And now, AI comes along and threatens their job security? That's just not fair 💔. We need to support these women (and men) more, help them develop new skills that aren't just about tech... you know, the whole 'thinking outside the box' thing 🤓.

I'm glad some folks are talking about this stuff now. I mean, I've been saying it for years: we need to prepare our workforce for this kind of change. It's not gonna be easy, but if we act now... we might just make it a little easier on ourselves 😊.
 
🤔 AI is really gonna hit those admin jobs hard lol I mean I get it we need to prepare for the future but some ppl are already rockin' more than one skill like why not get into coding or data analysis and pivot 🚀💻 just think about all the possibilities, and btw, its not all bad news 📈
 
AI is gonna change the game big time 💥 and it's not just about tech skills, it's about being adaptable 🔄. I think these clerical/admin roles are important too, people often underrate them as "easy" jobs 👎. It's about finding new ways to work together, not replacing people with robots 🤖. We need to focus on upskilling and reskilling, rather than just thinking it's gonna be a breeze for some folks 💪.
 
Wow 🤯, I think it's so interesting how this study is highlighting that women are being disproportionately affected by AI changes in jobs that they've traditionally held. It makes total sense that roles like clerical work would be more vulnerable since they often require less technical skills 📊👩‍💻
 
🤔 I think it's kinda lame that people are making a big deal about women being affected by AI since they're already half the workforce. Like, who gets to decide what jobs are "traditional" anyway? 🙄 We need more studies on how men will be impacted too... or if they'll just adapt and move into those roles themselves 💸
 
I'm like super worried about all these jobs that are gonna get automated 🤖💼. I mean think about it, like 6 million people in admin roles, what's gonna happen to them? They're already underpaid and overworked as it is 😒. And now they gotta worry about AI taking their jobs too? It's like, the more we rely on machines, the less important our human skills become 🤦‍♀️. I don't think anyone's really prepared for this kinda thing. We just keep spewing out new technology without thinking about how it's gonna affect people 💻. Mark my words, there's gonna be a lot of people left in the dust 👋.
 
lol AI is gonna change everything 🤖, i mean its not like we dont know that already right? but seriously though, clerical roles are a total disaster waiting to happen 💼😱, what's gonna happen to all those women who just wanna work and provide for their families? 🤷‍♀️
 
AI is gonna be a game changer but I'm still good 🤖...just kidding sorta. Seriously though, 6 million people could lose their jobs? That's crazy! I mean, I've seen some of my female friends in admin roles who are super talented and competent, it just doesn't necessarily translate to tech-y jobs. They do admin like a pro but that's not the same as being able to code or whatever. I feel for them 🤕...as for marketers, finance people, and scientists, yeah they got this 💪! They're already using AI in their work, so it's gonna be a breeze for them. But what about the rest? We need to get them ready 💡...I'm all about workers taking control of their own careers and upskilling 📚💻...the future is uncertain but we can't just sit back and wait for AI to take over 😬
 
💻 I'm not surprised to see that clerical roles are getting hit hard by AI 🤖. I mean, think about it - a lot of tasks that these jobs do are pretty repetitive and don't really require much creativity or problem-solving skills. So when machines can crunch numbers faster and more accurately than humans, it's no wonder people are worried 💸. But you know what? Women have been in these roles for years and they've always managed just fine 💪. The thing is, not a lot of women have the option to pivot into those fancy tech roles or entrepreneurial ventures 🤔. They need support from employers and policymakers so that they can keep on working and earning a living 💕.
 
I'm like totally worried about all these female office workers who are gonna lose their jobs to those robots 🤖💼. It's not that they're incompetent or anything, it's just that these admin roles have been female-dominated for so long and now they're getting automated. I mean, what are they supposed to do? They need some kind of support system in place, like retraining programs or something. And yeah, it's true that people with more technical skills can adapt easier, but what about all the women who don't have a degree or experience in tech?
 
AI is gonna screw us all lol 🤯 I mean, i'm no expert but it seems to me that we gotta be super careful about these jobs that are tradin' handsomely with women and just 'cause they're female don't mean they're not competent or whatever. I feel bad for those girls who'll lose their 9-5 gigs 🤕. On the other hand, i'm like "yaaas" to people who can pick up new skills and pivot into a better life 💻📈. We gotta think about this stuff now, not when it's too late 😬. What do you guys think? Should we just stick our heads in the sand or prep for the AI revolution 🤔💡
 
AI is gonna change everything 🤖💻. I feel bad for those girls who work in admin, they're always so organized and helpful... what's gonna happen to them? 🤔 Anyway, its not about being incompetent, its just that their job functions might be more at risk. We should be supporting them instead of just letting them slide 🤝. And yeah, marketing and finance folks are probably safe for now, but what about those in IT or something? Shouldn't they be learning new skills too? 💡
 
AI is gonna change our world so much 🤖... I think it's a big deal that women are more vulnerable to job loss because of roles they already hold. It's not like they're not capable or smart enough, it's just that these jobs aren't as tech-y. We should be supporting people in these roles to learn new skills so they can adapt. Marketers and finance folks might have an easier time 'upskilling' because their jobs are more about strategy and less about repetitive tasks. But everyone needs to take control of their own careers and not just sit back waiting for the robot takeover 😂.
 
AI is gonna make life so hard for girls who work 9 to 5 lol like my aunt who's a secretary, I remember her being super good at it but now she's all worried about automation replacing her job 🤖. But honestly, it's not just women who should be concerned, anyone in a role that's repetitive or easy to automate is gonna struggle. My friend's dad works in finance and he's always talking about how AI is changing the game, maybe this is an opportunity for him to learn new skills? But for my aunt, I'm like "girl, you can still teach yoga classes on the side and be set 💪."
 
AI's gonna hit clerical jobs hard 🤕. I feel bad for those ladies who are just tryin' to make ends meet. It's not that they're not capable, it's just that these jobs have been around for so long and are kinda... automatic? Anyways, the good news is that we got a lot of women in other fields who can easily adapt. Like, marketing chicks are all over tech now 📈! We should be helpin' those girls in clerical jobs get new skills so they can make the leap too 💻
 
🤖 this is a major issue - we're already seeing so many women in low-paying admin roles struggling to make ends meet, let alone adapt to AI replacing them... it's not about being "competent" as a worker, it's about having skills that are transferable to the future 📈. and honestly, who doesn't want to upskill and pivot into something new? 🚀 but for those in more traditionally male-dominated fields like science and finance, they're basically just getting a free pass to adapt... meanwhile, women are left fighting an uphill battle to survive 💼. anyway, let's get serious about this - we need policymakers and employers to step up and provide support for workers who are gonna be displaced by AI 🤝
 
AI is gonna hit admin jobs so hard lol 🤯 I mean, we've all been there, stuck behind a desk 8 hours a day. The thing is, it's not about being female or male, it's just that some tasks are gonna get automated. I feel like the study highlights how important it is for companies to retrain their staff before they even lose jobs. My mom used to work in HR and she was always saying how much time went into tasks like data entry... AI can do that now. Not a bad thing, but we need to be prepared.
