How will the rise of artificial intelligence impact the existing gender gap in STEM fields?

Although women's representation in the tech workforce has increased to nearly one-third, a significant gender gap persists, especially in leadership roles. A concerning trend shows a substantial drop-off rate for women in STEM employment after graduation, with only 30% of 2017's female STEM graduates entering STEM jobs in 2018, compared to their 36% representation among graduates. This disparity is exacerbated by the disproportionate impact of generative AI, where women are more likely to be in roles facing disruption and less likely to see skill augmentation.
