According to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) there is a AI gender gap. Read their announcement with the usual AI marketing stories [*], regarding a working paper on a representative survey of US consumers (pdf):
On average, 50% of men report having used gen AI over the previous 12 months, compared with 37% of women. Demographic characteristics such as income, education, age or race do not explain this gap. Differences in attitudes between genders towards privacy and trust in counterparties, as well as perceived opportunities and risks from gen AI for employment, explain part of the chasm. Respondents’ knowledge about gen AI emerges as the most important driver, explaining almost three quarters of the gen AI gender gap.
[*] “Generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) holds the potential to boost economic activity. Evidence suggests it makes workers more productive, especially in occupations that require advanced cognitive abilities, and spurs firm growth and innovation”, etcetera.
