Interesting perspective on AI from Patricia Gestoso:

«The reality is that when we see how [work is] already impacted by automation, it's easy to argue that it's mostly men. Workers at Amazon's warehouses, Uber drivers or riders for Deliveroo. Their work is scheduled and constantly monitored by AI. Moreover, when we look at who's raising the alarm about generative AI stealing their jobs right now, we see book authors, screenwriters, and actors. Again, professions that are far from failing on the "female job" category.

For me, talking about the next wave of automation disproportionately affecting women is to deflect from the reality that AI is already affecting the workforce dramatically right now. And it's not fortuitous. It's the old strategy of "divide and conquer". By saying "it'll be worse in the future and women's job will the most affected," it aims to keep men quiet with the false premise that they should conform because their jobs are "safe".»
