The gen AI gender gap
Generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) is expected to increase productivity. But if unequally adopted across demographic groups, its proliferation risks exacerbating disparities in pay and job opportunities, leading to greater inequality. To investigate the use of gen AI and its drivers we draw on a representative survey of U.S. household heads from the Survey of Consumer Expectations. We find a significant "gen AI gender gap": while 50% of men already use gen AI, only 37% of women do. Demographic characteristics explain only a small share of this gap, while respondents' self-assessed knowledge about gen AI emerges as the most important factor, explaining three-quarters of the gap. Gender differences in privacy concerns and trust when using gen AI tools, as well as perceived economic risks and benefits, account for the remainder. We conclude by discussing implications for policy to foster equitable gen AI adoption.

"The contradiction between use and trust of AI is striking. Fifty-one percent say they use AI for research, and many also use it for writing, work, and data analysis. But only 21 percent trust AI-generated information most or almost all of the time. Americans are clearly adopting AI, but they are doing so with deep hesitation, not deep trust," said Chetan Jaiswal, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Computer Science and Associate Chair, Department of Computing, Quinnipiac University School of Computing and Engineering.
