A City of London Corporation report, published in February 2026, highlights significant concerns regarding the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on women in tech and finance. Specifically, it points to mid-career women, defined as those with at least five years of experience, as being at particular risk of job displacement due to AI-driven automation. The report identifies that roles commonly held by women, such as compliance, administrative duties, and routine analysis, are increasingly being replaced by AI systems that can perform these tasks more efficiently. As industries continue to adopt automation technologies, these sectors, particularly tech and finance, are seeing major shifts in job structures. Women in these roles, often concentrated in lower-wage or more routine functions, face challenges in transitioning to new, more digital-centric roles. The findings underscore the need for policy change and reskilling initiatives to support workers who may find themselves displaced by this technology. Job Roles at Risk and Automation’s Impact The City of London report highlights that jobs in clerical, administrative, and analytical roles are particularly susceptible to automation. Compliance officers, data entry clerks, and similar positions, which have been traditionally held by women, are increasingly being automated, leaving many workers vulnerable to job loss.
