<A+> Alliance is one of eighty selected projects at the 2021 Paris Peace Forum!
Systemic gender, racial and intersectional bias sits at the heart of current Artificial Intelligence (AI) and algorithmic decision-making (ADM) processes. Inclusive AI is designed with inclusion at the core to create new opportunities and correct inequities. Our selected initiative focuses on how new AI/ADM algorithms, models, networks, and systems can have a concrete & positive impact on social problems, improving quality of life and correcting historical exclusion. Prototypes use design justice principles, with the most effective prototypes boasting new public and private sector partnerships to actively innovate and correct historical inequities.

A Call To Action from the <A+> Alliance
Feminist AI‘s goal is Algorithmic Decision-Making and AI harnessed to deliver equality outcomes; designed with inclusion at the core; creating new opportunities & proactive, innovative correction of inequities. The f<a+i>r network focuses on bringing social programs in line with 21st research and values, dedicated to finding ways to make AI & ADM programs, and the technology, more effective, inclusive and transformational, not only more ‘efficient’.

Panel on AI & Gender: A Human Rights Toolbox Approach
In this crucial moment when AI is transforming the fabric of our society — potentially the greatest global paradigm shift yet — it is crystal clear that the design and deployment of Artificial Intelligence must be grounded in human rights. Similarly, gender equality — the very heart of human rights — must be included in Artificial Intelligence design and deployment. How can a human rights based approach be applied to computer science, engineering and innovation?

Debemos activar nuevas normas que incluyan al 50% de la población mundial con género e igualdad social en el corazón de los algoritmos y sistemas automatizados de decision que estamos creando. Esto es aun más crítico durante la crisis económica y sanitaria producto del COVID-19. Una democracia saludable depende de la igualdad social y de género, y mientras los sistemas del futuro están siendo programados, estamos trabajando para mejorar esos códigos.
