Artificial Intelligence, Gender, and Oppression

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingEntry for encyclopedia/dictionary

Abstract

Artificial intelligence is the project of creating an artificial agent that has the same kind of intelligence as humans. It is found in many different aspects of our daily lives, e.g., virtual assistants, search engines, games, and health care. Oppression is a particular type of harm – it is group-based and systemic. People face oppressive harms as members of an oppressed social group (e.g., gender, race, socioeconomic class, sexual orientation, or (dis)ability). Through technologies such as virtual assistants, search engines, robots, and algorithms, artificial intelligence is contributing to gender-based oppression.
