AI At Work: Who Benefits More?

Artificial intelligence is transforming the workplace—but not in the same way for everyone. New research from LinkedIn and the World Economic Forum reveals that AI tends to benefit traditionally male-dominated roles more. However, women are leading in recognizing the rising importance of soft skills like creativity and critical thinking.

According to the report Gender Parity in the Intelligent Age, more women are listing AI engineering skills on LinkedIn than ever before. The percentage has risen from 23.5% in 2018 to 29.4% in 2025, marking significant progress in closing the gender gap in tech skills.

The belief that AI can boost careers is also increasing among women—from 47.2% to 58.8% in just a year. And with nearly all Fortune 500 companies now using AI in hiring, there's potential to uncover overlooked talent and diversify the workforce.

In the video, co-author Kim Piaget highlights key findings from the report and discusses how AI could help promote gender parity in innovation, talent, and leadership.
