Description
What is good technology? Is ‘good’ technology even possible? And how can feminism help us work towards it?
The Good Robot addresses these crucial questions through the voices of leading feminist thinkers, activists, and technologists. Each thinker provides a snapshot of key challenges, questions, and provocations in the field of feminism and technology.
While the question of whether various AI and technological advances can be ethical is not new, the embedded nature of feminist perspectives pulls out whether this perceived ‘goodness’ or ‘wrongness’ might actually impact our lives in the 21st century. This book explores both the radical possibilities of technology to disrupt practices of patriarchy, colonialism, racism, and beyond but also provides a significant critique of how we can contain the ethical possibilities of entities we cannot predict.
In exploring unjust technological practices and engaging critical voices in the tech industry, the existing moral issues are brought to light as well as the possible ethical quagmires.
This book opens a new space of discussion on digital technologies—one that insists that the future of AI is an urgent feminist issue.
