Gender Parity in the Intelligent Age

The World Economic Forum's 2025 report, Gender Parity in the Intelligent Age, developed in collaboration with LinkedIn, examines the intersection of gender equality and the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) in the workforce. It highlights both the challenges and opportunities that AI presents for achieving gender parity.

Some of its key findings are:

Disproportionate impact on women: women are more likely to occupy roles susceptible to disruption by generative AI and less likely to benefit from AI-driven career advancements. 

Underrepresentation in AI skills: despite a narrowing gender gap in AI skills across 74 of 75 economies between 2018 and 2025, women still constitute less than one-third of AI-skilled professionals. 

Strategic imperative for inclusion: organizations that fail to integrate gender parity into their AI strategies risk missing out on a significant portion of talent, potentially reducing innovation and long-term competitiveness.
