Summary
A survey by Lean In shows that women are less likely than men to use AI at work and receive less recognition when they do. This difference could widen existing pay and promotion gaps between genders, according to Sheryl Sandberg. The survey suggests that biases in recognizing efforts are present in new technology fields like AI.
