Misogyny Through Codes: Being a Woman in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) primarily threatens women’s security, privacy, and mental health in the digital world.
AI models are biased, often associating men with professional roles and women with family-oriented responsibilities.
According to a UN Women study, 44% of surveyed AI systems display prejudice towards women.
Generative AI is predicted to impact 29% of women-dominated jobs, almost double the impact on men, leading to a potential rise in unemployment among women.
AI technologies are amplifying cyberbullying and harassment against women through methods such as distributing private images, spreading misinformation, and generating explicit content.
The limited involvement of women in AI development and decision-making roles perpetuates gender bias and misogynistic tendencies in AI.
AI’s role in creating manipulated sexual images of women and minors on social media platforms reflects deep-seated patriarchal biases.
Until gender bias in society is addressed, AI will continue to pose threats to women’s rights and equality.
