The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in reinforcing biases, the balance between regulation and inclusivity, and the power of generative AI in shaping worldviews were among the key issues discussed when WASP-HS invited researchers and business representatives to explore AI from a queer theory perspective in October 2024. A report summarizing the event’s discussions is now available on the WASP-HS website.
—Queer theory provides valuable insights by illuminating often overlooked perspectives, particularly those at the margins, and by exposing various power imbalances, says Matilda Tudor, Researcher at the Department of Informatics and Media, Uppsala University.
—By engaging with queer theory, we can foster essential discussions about the potentials and limitations of data-driven technologies across diverse domains such as health, well-being, nature, culture, law, media, and communication, adds Karin Danielsson, Associate Professor at Department of Informatics and Director of Humlab at Umeå University
