There’s never a “right” age for a woman at work. Early in their careers, women may face discrimination based on assumptions about whether they’ll take maternity leave. Later, they’re subject to a new set of age-based biases.

Despite the challenges women face throughout their careers, Vitaud argues that women are especially poised for the AI revolution because “their working lives have frequently included interruptions, pivots, reinventions, periods of part-time work, freelance activity, caregiving, and reentry into employment.”
