A.I. dehumanises human beings. #war In militarised contexts, #AI identifies, tracks, and eliminates "targets" within seconds. Life-and-death decisions are made via systems that do not understand context, history or humanity ⬇️ @globalvoices @GenderITorg globalvoices.org/2026/04/22/…

We have to change the #language around #AI models, as well as the technology itself... because "A.I." is misleading. #AskAPeer Instead of Artificial Intelligence, select your preferred term below ⬇️ 😉 @globalvoices @GenderITorg Bookmark: globalvoices.org/2026/04/16/…

What does it mean to centre the human in a A.I. world, when "the human" itself (as a category) has historically been structured by white supremacy, patriarchy, ableism and cis-heteronormativity? Xonorika Kira writes ⬇️ @globalvoices @GenderITorg globalvoices.org/2026/04/16/…

As technology takes new forms, so does violence. Deepfakes, AI-generated abuse and fabricated content are increasingly being used to target women, girls, and marginalized communities. @Politics4Her , @HerInternet , and Body & Data are conducting a survey to understand these

Let's talk about the 🐘 in the room: in an increasingly #BigTech consolidated world, is taking back the tech still a real possibility? We have to say — despite it all — YES it is. From #FeministRepairLabs to #CodingCare, @GenderITorg delves into it ⬇️ genderit.org/editorial/conne…
