Emerging Trends In AI And Gender Perspectives

A CNBC SurveyMonkey report on Women at Work indicates differences in how men and women view artificial intelligence in the workplace. According to the survey, 69% of men describe AI as a valuable collaborator, compared with 61% of women. About half of the women surveyed said they have reservations about the technology’s role in professional environments.

Workplace Adoption And Usage Patterns

The survey was conducted between February 10 and February 16 and included 6,330 participants. It was carried out more than three years after the launch of ChatGPT by OpenAI, during a period of rapid growth in workplace AI tools. Many organisations now use technologies such as chatbots, coding assistants and AI-generated media tools. Survey results show differences in adoption patterns between men and women. 64% of women reported never using AI tools at work, compared with 55% of men. Daily use of AI tools is also limited among respondents. Around 14% of men described themselves as daily AI power users, compared with 9% of women.

Insights From The Executive Suite

Executives across several industries have highlighted the growing role of artificial intelligence in enterprise software systems. Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, discussed the topic during the bank’s 2026 investor day. Dimon said that nearly two-thirds of employees at JPMorgan use an internal large language model. He also emphasized the need for ongoing workforce training as AI technologies expand across business operations.

Implications For Career Growth And Economic Impact

Differences in AI adoption could influence career development and training opportunities. Survey results show that 59% of men expressed interest in receiving additional AI training. Responses from women reflected greater caution toward AI adoption. About 42% of women strongly disagreed with the idea that failing to use AI could limit future career opportunities.

Looking Ahead

As artificial intelligence becomes more widely used in business operations, questions about access to training and workplace adoption remain relevant. Sheryl Sandberg, founder of LeanIn.Org and former Meta executive, has warned that lower engagement with AI tools among women could affect long-term workforce participation in technology-driven sectors.
