“Google tell me about gender & AI?” Do the gender stereotypes offline replicate themselves online featuring Sapni GK & Garnett Achieng [Mozfest]

  • Résumé

  • We are pleased to announce that we have partnered with the Mozilla Foundation, to bring together an incredible podcast series on AI. This is our first episode of the Mozilla Festival series and in this episode, we will be discussing gender, tech and intersectionality with two Wranglers of the Gender, Teach and Intersectionality Space at MozFest 2022. In 2022 no country can say their society is equal when it comes to gender equality and intersectionality. The pandemic has only exacerbated these issues women being disproportionately affected when it comes to the loss of livelihood, unpaid childcare and on and offline violence. In tech, statistics are no better with intersectionality and gender missing from the conversations around algorithm and machine learning. For governments and public services, this becomes more damaging given the increased turn to use AI to automate systems. However, Many Black and Brown women are changing this narrative and I spoke to two of them.  Sapni GK a public policy lawyer and researcher from India and Garnett Achieng is a creative technologist in Kenya. From the Indian perspective, Sapni spoke about violence against women and how this behaviour we see offline has started to replicate itself as seen with the Bulli Bai app in women, a site created using Git Hub to ‘auction’ off prominent Muslim Indian women, although the site was taken down we discussed how much responsibility do technology companies like Git Hub have to take and if there is a nonchalant attitude towards non-white women. If this happened in America or the UK would tech organisations be faster to intervene? From the Kenyan perspective, Garnett spoke on many topics such as the lack of representation of women in politics, to the extra costs they have to take into consideration such as security, and also how AI systems such as Google Home and Alexa, have women voices again show tech replicating real-world stereotypes.  The annual Mozilla Festival is for anyone interested in #technology, human rights, and the future of the internet. It is the premiere gathering for diverse global movements that are fighting for a more humane digital world. This year, it is taking place virtually from March 7-10. Visit mozillafestival.org to grab your ticket and join from anywhere in the world - you will have access to sessions, workshops, discussions, art and media pieces, films and more, all exploring the social, political, and personal aspects of Trustworthy AI.
