Possible AIs: Institute for Speculative Technologies

The Institute

Women and people with diverse gender and sexual identities and practices have been disproportionately impacted, affected and made vulnerable by the widespread rise of artificial intelligence (AI). While the technology-facilitated discrimination and violence towards these communities is not new, AI poses new challenges in the online space which cannot be easily explained or addressed by our existing frameworks of gender and sexual justice and rights.

CREA, in collaboration with the Digital Narratives Studio, brings to you the first pilot Institute which explores possible AIs to demystify AI, trace its histories, re-create it and open the door to imagining other kinds of AI based on feminist principles and values. Through feminist and queer pedagogies, invitational dialogues, reflective co-creation, and critical reading and thinking, we propose new ways by which to understand the entanglements of gender, sexuality and AI.
