Does artificial intelligence have gender? Why do we give robots female names and human appearance? Is it possible that we reproduce gender stereotypes through AI? How many women actually create the AI systems affecting healthcare, policing, and education?
Professor Gina Neff, a Senior Research Fellow and Associate Professor at the Oxford Internet Institute and at the Department of Sociology, University of Oxford, will be the exclusive guest of Centre for Gender and Science. She specialises on innovation, the digital transformation of industries, and how new technologies impact work. In her lecture, she will address the social and political preconceptions encoded in the data used by AI, and show examples of how these systems incorporate human biases about women and their role in society. Prof. Gina Neff will also reflect on how important explicit thinking about gender in AI is, as it affects how AI companies work, what products are built and who benefits from their development.
Gina Neff is the author of three books and over three dozen research articles on innovation and the impact of digital transformation. In 2012, she published a book Venture Labor: Work and the Burden of Risk in Innovative Industries which won the 2013 American Sociological Association Communication and Information Technologies Best Book Award.
