- Women are less likely to use AI tools than men, with a 22% lower usage gap across various contexts.
- AI misuse includes non-consensual explicit content, weaponization against women, and baked-in gender and racial biases.
- Women's cautious approach to AI stems from well-founded concerns about safety, fairness, and societal impacts.
- Women face a double bind in AI usage, with higher competence penalties and gender-biased judgments.
- The lack of women in AI development and leadership perpetuates inequalities, making AI less equitable.
- Regulations and broader societal engagement are needed to address AI's harms rather than pushing women to 'lean in'.
