Alison Adam Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Gender Issues: Are women’s knowledge given the right to exist? This page is part of a class project (LINK) for SOSC 3990A — Feminist Perspectives on Media & Technology at York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This specific page is both informational in that it presents Alison Adam’s views on Artificial Intelligence or AI, and critical in that it outlines some strengths and weaknesses of her analysis. Adam’s core argument is that AI excludes female knowledge and female knowers from the realm of legitimate knowing. Adam believes that AI prescribes the masculine dominant view of knowledge, which derives from Traditional Epistemology, as being the norm. Alison Adam supports her criticism by using Feminist Epistemology as her theoretical background. Therefore I come to argue that Adam is an Epistemological Feminist for making it clear that Feminist Epistemology is in the heart of her discussion. Her study is of utmost importance to the area of gender and technology studies.
