AI Threatens Jobs Held by Women

A recent study by the United Nations shows that artificial intelligence (AI) is growing very fast in Asia and the Pacific.

This region has a big difference between rich and poor countries, which affects who benefits from AI and who faces risks.

AI could help the economy grow and make work more productive, but not everyone will benefit equally.

Women's jobs are almost twice as likely to be taken by machines compared to men's jobs.

Young people, especially those just starting their careers, are also at risk.

In South Asia, women are less likely to own smartphones, which makes it harder for them to use AI.

Rural and indigenous communities are often not included in the data that trains AI, which can lead to unfair treatment.

The study warns that without careful planning, AI could make the gap between rich and poor even bigger.
