Multigroup analysis in IBM Amos compared constrained and unconstrained models across gender clusters (206 male, 143 female); the article reports "gender has no impact on the adoption of AI". No chi-square difference or p-value for the gender comparison is printed in the provided text.

"Experience influences all the predictive factors, but its impact diminishes as experience increases, while gender has no impact on the adoption of AI."
