Forbes' junk science obsession re women
Article here. To be fair, it's not just Forbes, though they excel at it. It seems every article on "Women and ..." is based on some feminist junk science "study" touting the same conclusions: women good, men bad. Who is left reading mags like Forbes these days anyway? Looks to me like feminists. Excerpt:
'Why are women 25% less likely to use artificial intelligence tools than men? New research debunks the notion that the gender gap is primarily due to women’s lack of AI skills, interest or access. Women’s hesitancy to use AI is instead a rational response to a competency penalty that women face when using AI in the workplace.
The latest evidence of the competence penalty that women workers incur when using AI comes from a 2026 study by Zehra Chatoo, founder of Code For Good Now and former strategist at Meta. The study found that women who submit resumes created with AI assistance are evaluated as less competent and less trustworthy than men who submit identical AI-assisted resumes. To the evaluators, women’s AI use signaled inability, while men’s AI use signaled initiative.
This study bolsters prior research finding a competency penalty against women who use AI to efficiently perform their jobs. This research indicates that organizations will not close the gender AI gap simply by investing in digital skills training and AI incentives for their workforce. Employers must also address the gender-based perception biases linked to AI use.'
