Generative AI in Corporate: Do Male and Female Leaders Respond Differently?

This project will study how male and female executives differ in the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. I use the launch of ChatGPT as the big technological event to understand how executives communicate and discuss the adoption to generative AI. I then analyze how these differences affect how investors react in the stock market. By using data from company earnings calls and stock prices, the project will provide new knowledge about the role of gender in corporate decision-making during the changing era of technology. The research will strengthen connections between the University of Oxford and the University of Calgary, combining expertise in gender and corporate governance with innovation and technology adoption. The project will help both institutions build new collaborations and contribute to important discussions about leadership and technology in today’s economy with a new angle.
