🥟 Chao-Down #115 OpenAI plans a "personal assistant for work", IBM bringing generative AI commentary to Wimbledon, Latest research in building large multimodal models

Will AI disproportionately affect the jobs of women compared to men? A new report from seems to suggest so.

The Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise recently completed a study and found that nearly 80% of women in the US workforce, compared to 60% of men are in jobs that are more likely to be disrupted to automation through generative AI. Specifically, they defined “highly exposed” occupations as jobs where over 25% of tasks could be automated.

These jobs include office and administrative support, healthcare, education, and social services, with white-collar work more likely to be in danger compared to blue-collar jobs.

It’s an early finding but is an important data point we all should consider as we’re building a future that will be increasingly driven by AI.
