人工智能（AI）可能面临“女性排斥”的问题——最新的证据来自摩根士丹利（Morgan Stanley）发布的一项调查，该调查显示女性对这项新技术的态度明显比男性更为消极。
AI may have a woman problem — the latest evidence comes from a newly released survey from Morgan Stanley that finds women are far more negative about the new technology than men.
为何这很重要？ 女性似乎并未感受到人工智能带来的积极影响，尤其是在就业市场方面；调查还显示，她们比男性更担心人工智能带来的安全风险以及数据中心的建设问题。
Why it matters: Women don't seem to be feeling the benefits of the AI boom, particularly in the job market, and the polling reveals that they're more concerned than men with safety risks and data center buildouts.
具体数据： 摩根士丹利在9月底对2000名消费者进行了调查，询问他们对人工智能的整体看法（无论是积极的还是消极的），并计算了他们的净情绪（即积极态度与消极态度的差值）。
By the numbers: Morgan Stanley polled 2,000 consumers in late September and asked for their overall perception of AI, positive or negative. It then measured net sentiment (subtracting one from the other).
男性的态度明显更为积极（积极比例为30%），而女性的态度则为-1%。
Men were considerably more positive (+30%); women were at -1%.
自摩根士丹利开始这项调查以来（4月份），这种性别差异一直存在：当时女性的态度为+6%，而男性的态度基本保持稳定。
The gender divide has persisted since the Wall Street bank began its surveys in April. Then, women were at +6%. Men's feelings have stayed roughly steady.
详细分析：
在持消极态度的人群中，男性和女性分别有大约相同比例的人指出，人工智能被用于诈骗或传播虚假信息等负面现象。
Zoom in: Among those with negative views, roughly equal shares of men and women cited reasons like AI being "used for scams" or "spreading misinformation."
44%的女性表示“不希望在自己的住所附近建设数据中心”，而这一比例在男性中为36%。
But there were some key differences: 44% of women said, "I do not want a data center built near my home," compared with 36% of the men.
更多女性（57%）认为人工智能“发展速度过快，且缺乏足够的保障措施”；而这一比例在男性中为54%。
Slightly more women (57%) said they didn't like AI because "it is developing too quickly without enough safeguards." That's compared with 54% of men.
男性也更关注数据隐私问题（49% vs 39%）。
Men were also more likely to express concern with data privacy (49% versus 39% of women).
整体趋势： 最近关于人工智能安全风险的报道以及人们对数据中心建设的日益不满，正在引发公众的强烈反对情绪。
The big picture: Recent headlines about the safety risks of AI and deepening anger over data center development are driving backlash.
现状分析：
尽管摩根士丹利的调查显示美国整体上对人工智能的态度仍较为积极，但在某些特定群体中，情况并不乐观：
State of play: Although the bank's survey found that overall sentiment for AI in the U.S. is positive, among certain groups the outlook is far less rosy.
老年人：55岁及以上的老年人对人工智能的态度为-14%，而55岁以下的人群则为+25%。
Older adults. Sentiment is -14% for those age 55 and older compared with about +25% for folks under 55.
低收入消费者：年收入10万美元及以上的人群对人工智能的态度为+27%，而年收入低于5万美元的人群仅为+7%。
Lower-income consumers. Sentiment is +27% for those making $100,000 or more, compared with just +7% for those earning less than $50,000.
意识形态倾向：自认为是自由派的人对人工智能的认可度为0%，而自认为是保守派的人则为+31%。
Liberals. Net approval is at 0, compared with +31% for self-described conservatives.
在这些群体中，负面情绪的加剧正在引发当地民众的反对；由于中期选举即将举行，立法者们也开始关注这一问题。在某些地区，这意味着数据中心的建设已被暂停或至少放缓了。
Between the lines: The increase in negativity among these groups is leading to local pushback, and with midterms on tap, lawmakers are paying attention. In some regions, that means data center construction is on pause or at least slowed down.
“这是人工智能发展进程中的又一个瓶颈，”摩根士丹利主题研究负责人米歇尔·韦弗（Michelle Weaver）对Axios表示。
"It's another bottleneck for the broader AI buildout," Michelle Weaver, head of thematic research at Morgan Stanley, tells Axios.
调查显示，如果你居住的地区正在建设数据中心，那么当地民众对数据中心的负面情绪会更加强烈。
Data center sentiment drops even more if one is going up near where you live, the polling found.
从更宏观的角度来看，科技行业长期以来一直存在性别失衡的问题，而目前这种失衡现象似乎更加严重。
Zoom out: The tech industry has long had a gender imbalance, but it seems to be on steroids at the moment.
虽然这家银行没有专门研究劳动力市场的问题，但领英（LinkedIn）的最新数据显示：女性仅获得了四分之一或更少的高薪人工智能相关职位；在高管职位方面，女性的占比更低。这种明显的性别差异可能会加剧长期存在的性别薪酬差距。
The bank didn't look at labor market issues, but recent data from LinkedIn shows women landing only a quarter or less of new high-paying AI jobs. For executive roles, the share is even lower. The stark differences could exacerbate a long-standing gender pay gap.
“我们不能让人工智能领域的性别差距变成一个难以弥合的鸿沟，”LeanIn组织的首席执行官布里奇特·格里斯沃尔德（Bridget Griswold）对Axios说。
"We cannot let the AI gender gap become an entrenched chasm," Bridget Griswold, CEO of LeanIn, tells Axios.
该女性权益倡导组织指出，在职场中，女性使用人工智能技术时常常会受到批评和指责，而男性则相反；同时，研究也表明人工智能本身存在对女性的偏见。
The women's advocacy group has found that in the workplace, women are often criticized and judged for using AI, while men are praised, and says that the AI itself has been shown to exhibit bias against women.
回顾今年早些时候皮尤研究中心（Pew Research Center）的调查显示，女性对人工智能技术的态度更为谨慎（即更持怀疑态度），而男性则更频繁地使用这项技术。
Flashback: Women reported being more skeptical about AI in polling from Pew released earlier this year — and men used the technology more frequently.
