Women Slow to Adopt AI Amid Concerns

Women are slower to adopt AI technologies compared to men.

Between 2022 and 2024, only 27% of ChatGPT mobile app downloads were from women, and women made up 42% of global users of ChatGPT and Perplexity websites.

This trend is seen across different countries and sectors.

Women's reluctance is due to concerns about AI biases, such as the tendency of AI to favor men in hiring and to generate images that reinforce gender stereotypes.

Additionally, there are worries about AI being used to create deepfakes and misogynistic content.

Experts point out that these issues stem from human intentions and the data used to train AI, not the AI itself.

The increasing accessibility of AI tools also raises concerns about their misuse by those with malicious intent.
