Artificial intelligence is transforming the workforce, but the people most likely to feel the impact aren't who most headlines are talking about. Women make up less than half of the workforce, yet they hold 83% of the jobs researchers consider most vulnerable to AI disruption. The question isn't whether AI is changing work. The question is who gets hit first.

In this episode, Ashley explores the historical patterns that put women at the center of previous waves of automation and why AI may be following a familiar path. From switchboard operators and administrative roles to today's knowledge workers and entrepreneurs, she examines who is most at risk, why women often face greater penalties for using AI at work, and how women can position themselves to benefit from this technological shift instead of being left behind by it.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why women make up 83% of workers in the occupations most vulnerable to AI disruption

• The surprising historical connection between automation and women's work

• What researchers mean when they describe jobs as "AI vulnerable"

• Why women are often judged differently than men for using AI tools
