"Feminist reflections for the development of Artificial Intelligence", 24 May 2023

... Derechos Digitales , with support of the f<A+I>r project’s Latin America and Caribbean Hub, developed a feminist artificial intelligence (AI) guide titled Towards a feminist framework for AI development: from principles to practice.

The document opens with the question: «Is it possible to develop AI without reproducing logics of oppression?» It invites us to reflect on how we understand the field of AI and Latin America’s participation in the knowledge production scenarios there, on what discrimination problems are associated with how the AI field is currently configured, and on what alternative proposals for careful data management exist. Essentially, it is about trying to understand how feminist practices can lay the foundation for developing an inclusive AI with hope for social justice.

To continue this debate..., Derechos Digitales organized a series of conversations among Latin American women who are developing artificial intelligence systems under the auspices of the f<A+I>r network, together with other women AI experts in the region. The main goal of these encounters was to encourage reflection based on experiences of developing specific projects, and exchange recommendations and methodologies applicable to system design, with feminist perspectives.
