Abstract
The idea of Arti cial Intelligence can be seen as the immortalization of humanity's
hopes through promises of a better, longer, easier life. These aspirations, however,
are parallels with gender stereotypes about women, interpreted through the lter
of technology: to have a good performance with little resources, to be subordinate
to man, to always be a supportive gure, to always be in the best possible
shape. These biases resulted in male-skewed technology constructed on the concept
of the \ideal" woman | issue ampli ed by the lack of women in the AI eld.
This paper addresses the sources of such hurtful technology and the women-adverse
consequences of current applications of AI. Furthermore, I argue that AI holds the
potential to be helpful to women and thus seek to illustrate some ways women can
be empowered within and through AI.
