UN Women warns that artificial intelligence is reproducing long-standing gender stereotypes, which can amplify online abuse and keep women from participating in decisions that shape the digital future. In a statement reported by UN News on Monday, UN Women says AI is increasingly influencing how people work, communicate, and access information, and that these systems can therefore affect how gender is portrayed in online spaces. UN Women points to findings from a study examining 133 AI systems, which reportedly found that 44% showed gender bias. The same study also indicates that more than a quarter of the systems displayed both gender and racial bias. UN Women also highlights underrepresentation, arguing that women are being excluded from shaping the technologies and policies that will influence outcomes for them online. According to the coverage, these dynamics contribute to broader inequality by reinforcing stereotypes and exposing women to greater levels of harm in digital environments. The warning calls attention to the need to address bias in AI development and deployment.
