Reese Witherspoon recently called upon women to embrace Artificial Intelligence (AI) and start learning about it, emphasizing that it's "time" for a change. In a video posted on Instagram on Wednesday, the actress from The Morning Show urged her followers to stay updated with new technology.
"I think it's time to learn about AI," she began, recalling a book club event where only three out of ten attendees were familiar with AI, and only one "really knew" what they were doing. "So, if three out of ten women are the only ones using AI, that means 70% of that group is not keeping up," the 50-year-old actor declared.
She continued, "The thing I've learned about technology is that if you don't get a little bit of understanding from the very beginning, it just speeds past you."
Reese also reflected on her own journey with embracing new platforms. "You have to have little bits of learning just to keep up. And let's get real, our kids are all using this every single day," she mentioned, adding, "I think we should learn the basics together and learn some really good tools that are going to make our everyday lives easier and better... It's time, people."
Reese also promised to share updates with her 30 million followers on what she has been learning regarding AI. "Well... I've decided it's TIME. The AI revolution has begun, and I need to learn as much as I possibly can about AI and share it with all of you," she said.
"Also, FYI: the jobs women hold are 3x more likely to be automated by AI, yet women are using AI at a rate 25% lower than men on average. We don't want to be left behind. So... do you want to learn with me?" the mother-of-three added.
It's worth mentioning that Reese Witherspoon recently served as a producer on Elle, a prequel of her famous Legally Blonde franchise. The show is scheduled to premiere on July 1.
