“A recent surprise in China was a survey that found professional women have adapted faster to using artificial intelligence than men. They also show less fear of AI. Yet it was the explanation for this AI gender gap that offered a keyhole into how Chinese women are changing themselves and society from inside the narrow lanes imposed upon them by the ruling party. One insight on the survey came from Poh-Yian Koh, president of FedEx China. She said in the era of AI, the common female traits of flexibility, resilience, empathy, long-term vision, and bridge-building allow women to serve as ‘indispensable ‘interpreters’ who connect technology with humanity.’ ‘Technology can be replicated. Empathy cannot,’ she said. ‘In the age of intelligence, trust is the scarcest resource’” Technology might determine how fast society moves, but ‘humanity determines how far we go.'” (04/18/26)
