OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Why is there a gender gap in attitudes towards AI?
Join Peter Loewen in conversation with Maya Tudor, Associate Professor of Public Policy, as they discuss one of the first systematic analyses of gender’s effect on attitudes toward workplace automation and artificial intelligence (AI).
The paper ‘The Gender Gap in Attitudes Toward Workplace Technological Change’, written by Peter Loewen, Beatrice Magistro, Sophie Borwein, Bart Bonkowski, and Blake Lee-Whiting provides one of the first systematic analyses of gender’s effect on attitudes toward workplace automation and artificial intelligence (AI).
Using data from a survey of ten advanced economies and comparing the gender gap in attitudes toward automation and AI with the gender gap in attitudes toward offshoring and market changes, the authors provide evidence of a significant gender gap in attitudes toward the perceived fairness of technological adoption in the workplace. Drawing in part on insights from the literature on gender differences in attitudes toward other economic shocks, the paper examines four sets of potential explanations for this gap: differences in economic self-interest, knowledge gaps, different levels of sociotropic concern, and differences in social status perceptions. Accounting for these various explanations does not substantially reduce the gender gap in automation and AI preferences.
