Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Artificial intelligence (AI) presents immense potential and significant challenges concerning algorithmic bias. This paper explores how feminist theory provides a criti-cal lens for understanding and addressing algorithmic bi-as’s root causes and impacts. The historical context of systemic discrimination reveals how power imbalances have shaped data collection and analysis, leading to bi-ased datasets that perpetuate inequalities through AI sys-tems. The "black box" problem further obscures these bi-ases, amplifying discriminatory outcomes in various domains. Feminist interventions, particularly intersec-tional feminism, offer a framework for uncovering how algorithmic bias interacts with multiple forms of oppres-sion. Feminist data science challenges traditional meth-odologies and advocates for transparency, accountabil-ity, and diversity in AI development. Critiques of tech-no-solutionism highlight the need for broader societal change alongside technical fixes. By embracing a feminist approach, we can envision and work toward a future where AI technology is used for social justice, inclusivi-ty, and collective liberation.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
