本文

Digital information technology has become ubiquitous in both our persona daily lives and as a technology that propels social activity. This technology also carries the danger of replicating the inequity of human society and can function as a reflection mirror to show that injustice. The technological advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no exception to this, as various studies illustrate how gender discrimination and structural inequity is being reproduced in AI. This demonstrates how AI has been developed to maintain and strengthen current norms and hegemonic power. The question then is what are the necessary systems for a democratic operation of AI and other digital information technology? What best practices exist that encourage women and social minorities to participate in IT technology and offer an inclusive labor environment and IT education for the realization of equity in AI development. We must ask how can scientific data be used effectively for gender equality and equity? And what collaborations must happen between the fields of information engineering and the social sciences? We wish to explore the advantages of inclusivity in AI education and development while discussing the obstacles that stand in its way and possible solutions to rectify the root of such obstacles.
