Pivotal Role Of Feminism To Address Gender Bias Existing In Ai And Humanity

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) governs our daily lives by outwitting us with its efficiency to excel in performing various tasks. People move towards a techno-chauvinistic society as AI tends to manipulate humanity. In this case, it is necessary to call for gender inclusivity, as AI reflects on real-life Gender inequalities. Most people working in Machine Learning and AI are men, and women hold very few positions in STEM fields. Human creativity and innovations infuse such gender stereotypes into AI databases and algorithms, as individuals immersed in the archetypes of gendered conventions actively contribute to shaping these technologies. UNESCO has resolved to adopt a humanistic approach to AI, which foreshadows the necessity of integrating feminist theory rather than focusing on women as target groups. Meanwhile, literary texts have the potential to mirror the intensity of prejudice and societal bias in human thoughts and actions. The Star-Touched Queen, a novel by Roshani Chokshi, provides an outlook on women’s experience of gendered aspects from a feminist standpoint. It aims to shatter gender inequalities with the representation of a female protagonist, as she debunks conventionalized stereotypes. The findings are disentangled from the primary text via the standpoint of Radical Feminism. The paper confers the presence of gendered dimensions in AI, as noted by UNESCO. By bringing out the presence of stereotyped dimensions mirroring real-world situations through the selected text, it apprises the inevitability of construing the potency of existing Gender bias, which could invade technology.
