Key Quote from chapter.
Prof. Nubi Achebo, Ph.D.

“Gender, Power, and Emergent Technology makes an important contribution to feminist digital justice by refusing to treat AI governance as a narrow technical or compliance problem. Haskell and the contributors show how data and AI systems reproduce power when questions of care, consent, accountability, refusal, and repair are subordinated to scale, efficiency, and market-led innovation. The volume offers a timely vocabulary for governance that centers democratic participation, social justice, gender equality, and the knowledge of communities most affected by technological change.”

“At a time when AI debates are dominated by hype and fear, this book offers something far more valuable: practical ways to build technologies that center care, accountability, and inclusion. This work moves beyond abstract AI ethics to confront the deeper questions of power by drawing attention to whose knowledge counts and whose voices shape our technological futures. This timely volume offers a compelling roadmap for more inclusive and responsible innovation.”
