Weather of Arabia - A study conducted by the BBC reveals women’s reluctance to use technology, especially artificial intelligence, in light of women’s less involvement in the fields of science and technology in the United Kingdom. The report indicates that only 24% of the workforce in these sectors are female, which It affects women's confidence in using technology. The study shows that women tend to strive to achieve a high level of competence before thinking about using technology, while men accept challenges without the need for a high level of competence. In addition, women fear that others will appreciate them for using technology, as this may be understood as a lack of competence. Qualifications or abilities. In this context, women are reluctant to use the “GBT Chat” application, as 54% of men use artificial intelligence, while this number drops to 35% among women , and some women are reluctant to use technology to preserve their identity and voice.<h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Does artificial intelligence threaten women's jobs?</h2> A new study from the McKinsey Global Institute warns that the advancement of technology and artificial intelligence may lead to the replacement of more women in their fields of work, and suggests that women may be more vulnerable to losing their jobs; Because of artificial intelligence, it has a higher rate than men. The research predicts that AI operations will lead to about 12 million job transitions in the United States by 2030, and women appear more likely to move to new professions; Due to artificial intelligence at a rate of approximately one and a half times, the study confirms the importance of developing artificial intelligence skills, as the demand for these skills is expected to increase by more than 50% by the year 2025. The two companies , “Supermums” and “AI Force,” offer a unique training course to enhance artificial intelligence skills. And highlight the importance of these skills in modern work. <img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/uploads-2020/%D9%84%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%B0%D8%A7%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%86%D8%B3%D8%A7%D8%A1%20%D8%A3%D9%82%D9%84%20%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%AE%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%A7%20%D9%84%D9%84%D8%B0%D9%83%D8%A7%D8%A1%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%B5%D8%B7%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%B9%D9%8A%D8%9F.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 600px;" /><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Women face challenges in light of the advancement of artificial intelligence </h2> Internationally, research shows that women in the labor market receive lower wages, hold fewer leadership positions, and participate less in STEM fields. A 2019 UNESCO report found that women make up only 29% of science R&D jobs globally, and that women are 25% less likely to utilize digital technology for basic uses than men. As artificial intelligence continues to mature and develop, this report raises the question: What will the future labor market be like for women? Will the power of AI be effectively harnessed to reduce gender equality gaps, or will these gaps persist or even widen? This collaboration between UNESCO, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) examines the impact of the use of artificial intelligence on the lives of women at work, following the main stages of the workforce life cycle, from job requirements through recruitment, career advancement and skills development within the workplace. This collaboration represents a comprehensive introduction to gender and artificial intelligence issues, and aims to advance important conversations about women’s equality in the workplace. <img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/uploads-2020/%D9%84%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%B0%D8%A7%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%86%D8%B3%D8%A7%D8%A1%20%D8%A3%D9%82%D9%84%20%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%AE%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%A7%20%D9%84%D9%84%D8%B0%D9%83%D8%A7%D8%A1%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%B5%D8%B7%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%B9%D9%8A%D8%9F2.jpg" style="width: 800px; height: 533px;" /><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Prominent women in the field of artificial intelligence</h2> Despite the challenges that women face in the field of artificial intelligence applications, the influence of many creative women who have been able to shine in this field and make outstanding contributions is highlighted. This success is represented in providing innovative applications and managing pioneering technological institutions. Three accomplished women can be mentioned in this context:<h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> In in me</h3> One of the most influential figures in the field of artificial intelligence, she is the co-director of the Stanford Institute for Human-centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) and also a professor of computer science at Stanford University. She is famous for her work in the field of computer vision and image recognition, and contributed significantly to the development of the ImageNet database, which became a standard for visual recognition.<h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Cynthia Breazeale</h3> A computer researcher known for her work in the field of social robotics, where she also holds the position of professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and led the personal robotics group at the institute. She developed the first social robot called “Kismet”, which was designed to interact naturally with humans, and influenced the development of the field. Social robots.<h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Shafi Goldwasser</h3> A computer scientist known for her research in cryptography, she is the Director of the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing at the University of California, Berkeley and a leading figure in the field of cryptography, where she has made significant contributions by developing zero-knowledge proofs and co-creating the probabilistic cryptography system known as the Goldwasser-Micali cryptography system. .
