Feminist Principles for an Inclusive and Transformative Artificial Intelligence
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: The widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) for different applications is raising expectations as well as concerns about the risks it involves. This paper explores the application of feminist principles to foster inclusive and transformative AI in Canada. Analysis: We analyze six of Canada’s AI policies through the lens of six feminist guiding principles: 1) positive and transformative purpose; 2) diversity and representation; 3) accessibility, fairness, and inclusion; 4) contextual awareness; 5) transparency, explainability, and accountability; and (6) environmental sustainability. Conclusion and implications: While Canada’s AI policies show promise, our feminist analysis highlights gaps in addressing diverse representations in the industry, bridging digital divides, ensuring contextual awareness, and enforcing transparency, explainability, and accountability.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
