AI is changing how we work, just not for everyone.
This report looks at who is actually using AI at work in Denmark in 2026, who is getting the support to do so, and who is quietly being left behind.
Spoiler: it’s not about who’s capable. It’s about who’s being asked.
“We can keep building the gap by default. This report is an invitation to decide not to.”
— Katrine Bach, Chair, Connected Women in AI
Some of the insights you’ll find when you read it:
- The biggest factor in AI adoption is whether a manager encourages it.
- Almost half of Danish employees have never been given access to AI tools at work.
- Young women and men are at near parity in AI use and confidence. The gap appears later and grows significantly
- Women aged 49–66 are the most excluded group across every measure: access, training, involvement, and expectations.
- Nearly half of experienced women don’t know how their workplace is approaching AI.
- Employees don’t need more technology. They need time to learn, practical examples, and manager support.
A huge thank you to everyone who made this report possible, Ipsos for conducting the survey, Aetheon for turning the data into something meaningful, and the 1,000 working Danes who took the time to share their experiences. And of course, to the entire Connected Women in AI community, this one’s for you.
