If you\u2019re using AI for professional work purposes and are wondering if you\u2019re being judged for it, it might depend on who you are. <\/p>\n

A new study sought to determine whether women\u2014particularly young women\u2014would be treated more harshly than their male counterparts for using artificial intelligence in job applications. Zehra Chatoo, a former Meta strategist and the founder of thinktank Code For Good Now, used AI to generate identical r\u00e9sum\u00e9s with just one difference: One was for a candidate called Emily Clarke, another for James Clarke.<\/p>\n

The r\u00e9sum\u00e9s were distributed to two groups, who had been told the documents had been created with the help of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

Reviewers of Emily\u2019s r\u00e9sum\u00e9 were 22% more likely to question whether the individual could be trusted compared to James. The female candidate\u2019s CV was also twice as likely to raise doubts about her competence and ability to do her job.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe can\u2019t even write a CV herself\u2014not sure she has the skills to carry out the job,\u201d read some of the feedback on Emily\u2019s CV. James\u2019s r\u00e9sum\u00e9 had a different response, with his use of AI justified: \u201cHe just needed a bit of help putting it together,\u201d was one response.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen men use AI, we question their effort. When women use AI, we question their integrity. That difference changes the perceived risk of using AI,\u201d Chatoo said. <\/p>\n

The latest data point feeds into broader concerns about an AI gender gap. In a working paper published last year, Harvard Business School Associate Professor Rembrand Koning put the adoption rate between men and women at about 25%.<\/p>\n

Koning identified the concern Chatoo\u2019s study exhibits, saying women are concerned about the perception of their work if they use or rely on AI. Koning, a Professor of Business Administration, explained: \u201cWomen face greater penalties in being judged as not having expertise in different fields. They might be worried that someone would think even though they…<\/p>\n
