The Myths Behind Gender Cognitive Skills: What AI Reveals About Hiring, Bias, and Belonging
Are men really better at math? Are women inherently stronger in emotional intelligence or multitasking? Science says no—but outdated myths still shape how talented people are judged and hired. In this session, we’ll break down those myths and reveal how social narratives, not skills, are eroding culture, producing negative bias, and needlessly holding women back. You'll learn about compelling findings from 2025 research in AI and I/O Psychology, including how women’s trust in AI over human recruiters is changing job application behavior—and what that means for the future of equitable hiring. You’ll leave with actionable ideas for using employer branding, recruitment design, and inclusive tech to drive belonging, not bias.
