Description

During the recent pandemic, the Content Moderation Tools used in Social Media have become more dependent on AI's. This situation has brought issues for all marginalized communities, especially women and gender diverse where their bodies and sometimes expressions of self are censored by these tools and when they ask for reasons the algorithm shows its BIAS, and the post never is shared again, this is making that women and gender diverse people censure themselves in order to fill the "Community Standards" and with this increasing the gender breach online. With this discussion, we want to think and share a queer theory for AI and possible ways to solve those AI's/CMT biases have.

This talk will be open to all who want to participate, taking the floor or writing in a shared document their ideas and inputs related to what we will talk about during this conversation. This will be an online document where the people can put some solutions to some specific cases where the automatic content moderation tools affected women and gender diverse people.
