University of Limerick researchers found 189 people paid a female-presenting AI assistant 10.25% less than an identical male-presenting one. For firms giving agents a name and a face, persona design can change how staff value the same software even when the trust they report stays level.

Mary Hausfeld's team pooled 1,279 papers and data on 609,278 people; women's advantage is large on graded tasks and almost disappears on self-reports. Assessment programs built on self-ratings are measuring self-perception.
