Sheryl Sandberg on why AI could widen the gender gap

The CNBC Changemakers and Power Players podcast features candid, in-depth conversations with influential leaders shaping business and culture. In this episode, CNBC's Julia Boorstin sits down with Sheryl Sandberg, former Meta COO and author of "Lean In," for a conversation on leadership, gender equity, and the future of work.

Sandberg opens up about new findings from the latest Lean In–McKinsey Women in the Workplace report, including a growing ambition gap for women and a worrying pullback by companies on career advancement. She also shares why AI could deepen workplace inequality if it's not handled carefully — and what both companies and women need to do now to avoid losing an entire generation of leaders.
