NEW YORK and MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — March 19, 2025 — Udacity, part of Accenture and a leader in technical skills training, today published new findings from its 2025 AI at Work Report—a comprehensive analysis of how technical professionals across the globe perceive AI’s impact on their workplaces and careers.
The data—which include responses from 850 professionals from 87 countries and 22 industries—reveal a gap in workplace and income benefits between men and women in both technical and non-technical roles.
In the study, women were less likely than men to say that AI has helped them increase their income (54% versus 62%, respectively).
Women were also 10% less likely to report increases in efficiency and 9% less likely to report increases in creativity through the use of AI in the workplace.
This disparity raises important questions ahead of Equal Pay Day (March 25, 2025) about how these tools are being designed—as well as the types, frequency, and quality of training being used to help professionals from all backgrounds extract maximum value and utility from the latest generative AI tools.
Conversely, women were less prone to say that AI is likely to replace some or all of their current work in the next 2-3 years—38% of women versus 43% of men.
The new data also reveal that women are currently less likely to use nascent generative AI tools and lean more on those that have reached mass appeal.
