This becomes even more critical in a context where AI and automation are rapidly shifting industry baselines, redefining the skills and roles that will shape the next generation of jobs. Recent LinkedIn data suggests that women are more likely to hold roles disrupted by GenAI and less likely to experience augmentation. Women’s participation in the technology, information and media industry has grown to 35.X%, yet retention remains a challenge. Men are more highly represented at every career stage, especially in the STEM C-suite. Yet the dynamism of AI transformation also offers an opportunity to break with longstanding gender disparities. LinkedIn data shows female AI talent on the platform has expanded significantly between 2018 and 2025, and the gender gap in AI talent has narrowed in 74 of 75 economies. (source: Gender Parity in the Intelligent Age, World Economic Forum and LinkedIn, 2025). Ensuring women are not left out of these emerging sectors is key to building resilient, future-ready economies.
