New US research forecasts that women are more likely to lose their jobs with the advance of AI. While artificial intelligence may make certain professional tasks easier, it could also lead to the elimination of low-paid jobs, mainly held by women.

AI is reshaping the world of work. Over the years, AI is poised to develop and perfect some amazing functionalities, such as writing code, detecting disease, creating content, providing customer support, and even accelerating scientific discovery. Nevertheless, some jobs are in danger of being completely automated, which raises questions about the future of some occupations. And a recent report from the consulting firm McKinsey predicts that women, as well as Black and Hispanic people, could be the workers most likely to lose their jobs to AI.
