Automation and the sexes : is job transformation more likely among women? / by Marc Frenette and Kristyn Frank.: CS11-0019/452E-PDF
"Recent advances in artificial intelligence and machine-learning technologies have fuelled fears of potential job losses among some workers. While the net impact of new technology on total jobs can be negative, positive or neutral, some workers may be more affected than others depending on how easily robots and algorithms can replace them, or how easily their skills complement the new technology. In the case of women and men, it is not clear who is likely to be most affected. This study estimates the risk of job transformation as a result of automation technology faced by women and men"--Supplied by publisher.
