A recent UN report titled Gender Snapshot 2025 warns that artificial intelligence (AI) could impact women's jobs more negatively than men's: approximately 28% of jobs held by women are at high risk of automation, compared to 21% for men.

This finding has profound implications: jobs traditionally held by women—such as customer service, administrative work, and basic services—tend to include repetitive tasks that can be replaced by algorithms. However, automation is not inevitable: it depends on proactive policies for retraining, digital skills development, support for female entrepreneurship, and equal access to technology.

Furthermore, a significant digital divide exists: many women lack adequate access to the internet, digital devices, and training in technological skills. This disparity limits both their full participation in the modern economy and their resilience in the face of rapid changes in the labor market.

During the report's presentation, an urgent appeal was made: governments, technology companies, and educational institutions must work together to close this gap. It is not enough to simply worry about the future of work; policies are needed to ensure that innovation benefits all genders equally.

Finally, this scenario raises a key question: how can women not only adapt to technological change, but also lead within it? Mentoring programs, support networks, scholarships, and a focus on inclusive technologies could be essential tools for turning this risk into an opportunity.
