Call for Expressions of Interest

Incubating Feminist AI Project

The call is led by the <A+> Alliance, a network of technologists, academics & activists working together to ensure new algorithmic systems do not embed an already biased system into our collective futures, and to explore new models that will reach beyond mitigation of bias to correct for historic inequity in order to help ensure a more fair, just and inclusive collective future for all. 

This call is released as part of the f<a+i>r feminist AI research network, supported by IDRC, in a three-year initiative to create new algorithmic and social science models that enhance social science and maching learning disciplines to intersect with core public policy agendas in the Global South. (See ANNEX 2: Indicative Research Directions and Sectors) The project will a) call for expressions of interest (current – Phase 1); b) develop a new model for publication as a research paper (Phase 2); c) prototype (Phase 3); and d) pilot (Phase 4) applied feminist AI research and solutions to ensure that technology is co-created with problem definition and solution design of affected communities, and meets or exceeds the needs of the historically marginalized or vulnerable, especially women and girls.
