Data Feminism for AI: A Talk by Dr. Lauren Klein

Описание: Dr. Lauren Klein joined us at the new SJSU Digital Humanities Center on October 17, 2024 to a full house in-person and an international online audience. Her wonderful talk provided a foundation for defining data, the people behind that data, data collection, and innovative and ethical data use. She wraps all of this up in the development of artificial intelligence along with suggestions for how to create ethical projects using an intersectional feminist lens.

Abstract: In Data Feminism (MIT Press, 2020), Klein and her coauthor Catherine D'Ignazio established a set of principles for doing more just and equitable data science. Informed by the past several decades of intersectional feminist activism and critical thought, the principles of data feminism modeled how to examine and challenge power, rethink binaries and hierarchies, elevate emotion and embodiment, consider context, embrace pluralism, and make labor visible. How can these principles be applied to the current conversation about AI, its present harms, and its future possibilities? This talk will briefly summarize the principles of data feminism before moving to a set of real-world examples that show how these principles can be applied – and extended – in our current technological landscape.
