King's College London: The Gendered Impact of AI at Work: The Challenges and Opportunities

This online discussion explores the gendered impact of artificial intelligence in the workplace, with a focus on how AI is changing skills, opportunities and barriers to progression. It looks at the evidence around AI adoption across sectors and considers why women and gender diverse workers may face particular challenges, including skills gaps and unequal access to upskilling.

An expert panel of academics, researchers and organisational leaders will examine how gender bias can appear in data and in AI tools themselves, and what organisations can do to address it. The conversation also broadens the lens to intersectional considerations beyond gender alone, asking how employers, researchers and policy experts can work together to build a more inclusive AI economy.

The session is chaired by Dr Nessa Keddo and features contributions from speakers including representatives from PwC, the Open University, the Open Data Institute, the Harvard Kennedy School and King’s College London. It is part of King’s AI and Workforce Futures programme, which brings together research, policy expertise and employer partnerships to shape the future of work.
