Abstract

Can there be a feminist Artificial Intelligence? Based on this question, this text envisions a Feminist AI, as a counterforce against algorithmic bias and oppression. After a look into controversial applications of AI, that reverberate sexist, racist and colonialist views, it shows how a feminist approach to AI systems can outline alternatives through experimental artistic projects. Our theoretical tools build on analyses regarding situated knowledge, Black Feminism as a force against algorithmic oppression, algorithmic colonization and Data Feminism.
