- Abstract
Feminist philosophers have long emphasized the ways in which women's oppression takes a variety of forms depending on complex combinations of factors. These include women's objectification, dehumanization and unjust gendered divisions of labour caused in part by sexist ideologies regarding women's social role. This paper argues that feminized artificial intelligence (feminized AI) poses new and important challenges to these perennial feminist philosophical issues. Despite the recent surge in theoretical and empirical attention paid to the ethics of AI in general, a strikingly small portion of this work has considered the impact of feminized AI in particular. Our aim is thus to draw attention to the new and pressing ethical challenges posed by feminized AI. Doing so is crucial not just to understanding the impact of these increasingly ubiquitous technologies, but also to our understanding of longstanding feminist philosophical concerns and efforts to ameliorate them.
