Writing a Feminist AI Manifesto

Over the past few years, AI has been injected into many systems, without critical reflection on how the technologies are made, or who really benefits from them. Recently, movements have emerged such as Data Feminism and Design Justice, which analyse technology from a more critical angle with the intention of creating more equity in technological practice. This workshop will explore some of their implications in feminist AI practices.

Participants will explore intersections of feminist theory and how they relate to current AI principles, and will collaboratively produce a collective manifesto that outlines a techno-feminist future for AI. Participants will identify key principles of aspects such as inclusivity, transparency, accountability, and bias mitigation. By the end of the workshop, participants will have co-created a comprehensive feminist AI manifesto. This document will serve as a guideline for developers, policymakers, and activists striving to ensure that AI technologies promote gender equity and social justice.
