University Pride lecture: creating an AI rainbow code

On Thursday 3 August, during University Pride, UvA student Jimena Lara will give the lecture 'Creating an AI rainbow code' at the Social Hub. In this interview, Jimena previews her lecture.

'Artificial intelligence (AI) violence is an interdisciplinary field that combines political sociology, artificial intelligence and gender studies,' Jimena explains. 'I took a course on AI that dealt specifically with this kind of violence and its effects on socio-economic, ethnic and other minorities.'

During her course, she became interested in the social impact of these algorithms. 'I am not against AI, but want to create awareness around its potential disadvantages by combining knowledge from gender studies with insights into AI violence.'
