Cyberfeminism AI and Gender Biases
Cyberfeminism is a feminist approach which foregrounds the relationship between cyberspace, the Internet, and technology. ... The term was coined in the early 1990s to describe the work of feminists interested in theorizing, critiquing, exploring and re-making the Internet, cyberspace and new-media technologies in general.
1. Kirti Sharma: How to keep human bias out of AI?
In this video Kirti Sharma talk about human bias regarding AI. Emotion and bias have always been one of the most controversial topics of AI. That is because of an unintentional premonition due to bias in training data. Furthermore, things like sexist/racist steps taken by humans have a similar effect on AI models.
Although we can control AI in today’s date, its power will rise dramatically in the future. If we embed a bias in current AI systems, then it’ll leave us with two options.
To redesign complete technology.
To surrender the minorities up to decisions made by AI.
Therefore, it's completely up to us whether we want to keep human bias away from it or not.
2. Robin Hauser: Can we protect AI from our biases?
I think yes. Because I am a girl. So my protraction is my first priority . I am not using some of apps with my number and my name. Because one fear in mind any misuse this information.As humans we're inherently biased. Sometimes it's explicit and other times it's unconscious, but as we move forward with technology how do we keep our biases out of the algorithms we create? Documentary filmmaker Robin Hauser argues that we need to have a conversation about how AI should be governed and ask who is responsible for overseeing the ethical standards of these supercomputers. "We need to figure this out now," she says. "Because once skewed data gets into deep learning machines, it's very difficult to take it out."AI makes all decisions like banking work etc. she gives her point of view that I believe in Technology.
Our experience of cyber space and women's identity.
So for understanding these spaces of biases of AI. So as Kriti mentioned when she first applied for AI she received comments and queries. It’s about gender biases. In this similar way when any girl puts her own identity she might receive queries first from there family members, importantly males of the family. If the same thing happened to us we have to observe such things. Like till the date some girls have not their own Gmail Id, Facebook Id and so many things. So patriarchy is also described. Women or girls make a fake Id on Facebook to hide their gender because they don’t want any kind of hurdles.
Cyberfeminism is a very interesting term for discussing and thinking. It's very interesting to see that still some women are facing some kind of problem Technology with social media and they are getting afraid of using such a thing. So we have to write our own experience about cyber feminism. I had the same experience when I started Facebook, Instagram so at that time I hid my profile and my identity because I was afraid that I might be talking wrong. Slowly and steadily we are coming out from this kind of fear.
