Abstract:

What is Someone with a doctorate in Cultural Studies doing at an artificial intelligence (AI) Institute? A lot actually. As a Knowledge Mobilization Advisor at Concordia’s Applied AI Institute, I translate feminist principles into AI research and development strategies. If this surprises you, consider how my colleagues (in both worlds) felt. You work where? You studied what? The path from studying feminist stand-up comedy—highlighting the social and political implications of shared laughter—to being a core part of Concordia’s Applied AI Institute (AI2) [1] is not straightforward, but it highlights the importance of interdisciplinary AI research. My arrival, discussed here, demonstrates why my perspective as a feminist scholar is important and necessary for the future of AI research.
