Feminist AI stems from the recognition that AI, which may appear to be objective and neutral, is, from a feminist perspective, not so—at least not up to now. The reason is that the data on which AI is based is a historical product of male-centered societies, and most of the people developing AI are men. As a result, the AI technology—specifically, its algorithms—tends to favor men. Therefore, Feminist AI stands in opposition to such male-centered AI, aiming not to create AI biased toward women, but rather an AI that is equal and fair. In other words, it seeks to remove the male-centered bias in AI technology.
Although MAILab doesn't explicitly position itself as a proponent of Feminist AI, its vice president argues that AI should never discriminate between men and women, and that, in fact, the field of AI could be a way for women, who face discrimination in reality, to overcome those barriers. She reflects that, as a graduate of Dartmouth College, often referred to as a “mecca” for AI, her pride in her alma mater motivated her to study AI more diligently and pursue AI-related business. In the end, it’s a matter of motivation.
All innovation and creation arise from the clash of diverse thoughts and perspectives. Without diversity and the equality that diversity enables, neither innovation nor creation is possible. When civilization-shaping AI evolves on a more diverse and equal foundation, the future of humanity will be brighter, and active participation of women in AI will be a catalyst for promoting such diversity and equality.
