USING AI TO PROGRESS IN THEIR CAREERS
However, there are signs that more women are equipping themselves with AI skills to advance in their careers.
“AI has the potential to be a very powerful tool for fostering more inclusive and more sustainable economic growth and development,” said Ms Lim Hui Yi, director of economics strategy at public policy consultancy Access Partnership.
A new study found that women workers in the Asia Pacific are more interested in developing AI skills than their counterparts in the United States and Britain.
The research by Access Partnership was commissioned by Amazon Web Services, and comes as AI adoption ramps up in the workplace.
The study suggests workers in the Asia-Pacific region with AI skills could see their salaries boosted by more than 30 per cent and enjoy faster career progression.
Within the region, women in middle-income countries, such as India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand, are more interested in developing AI skills than those in high-income countries, like Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, and South Korea.
