AI analysis of segments on CNN, Fox News and MSNBC shows females get less airtime

Artificial intelligence has found disparities in the amount of airtime women and men were given on CNN, FOX News and MSNBC - females had a 10 percent less chance of speaking during political discussions because male speakers constantly interrupted them. The discovery was made by researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology who analyzed 625,409 dialogues hosted on the three news cable networks from January 2000 through July 2021. The technology revealed women received an average of 72.8 words per chance to speak compared to 81.4 for male speakers and women were interrupted 39.4 percent of the time during discussions - this is compared to the 35.9 percent of the time for men. The team believes their AI could be used during talk shows, interviews and political debates to identify a serial interrupter in real-time, but the study also reinforces previous research that found men interrupt women more to show their dominance. AI analyzed thousands of dialogues from news segments on the three networks and found woman are given a 10 percent less chance at speaking because men interrupt them.
