Work traditionally done by women is more vulnerable to the effects of artificial intelligence than those done in particularly high-income countries, according to a report from the United Nations International Labour Organization on Tuesday.
We found that AI is set to be transformed compared to 3.5% of traditional female jobs, as they take over administrative tasks and transform administrative work such as secretary work.
Many tasks still require human involvement, and roles are likely to be radically changed rather than eliminated, the report says.
Employment in media, software, and finance-related roles is also at the forefront of change as generation AI expands learning capabilities.
“This kind of exposure emphasizes that rather than implying immediate automation of the entire profession, it means the possibility that most of the current tasks can be performed using this technology,” the report states.
They called on governments, employers and workers’ organisations to think about ways to use AI to improve productivity and quality of work.
