What is good technology? Is it even possible? And how can feminism help us work toward it?

Join Kerry McInerney and Eleanor Drage, researchers at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence at the University of Cambridge, as they discuss these crucial questions and their new book, The Good Robot: Why Technology Needs Feminism. McInerney and Drage are co-hosts of “The Good Robot” podcast and co-editors of Feminist AI: Critical Perspectives on Algorithms, Data and Intelligent Machines.

The possibility that AI will automate most cognitive labor is worth taking seriously. How should we adapt to this transformation? I start from the perspective, articulated in the essay “AI as normal technology”, that the true bottlenecks lie downstream of capabilities and that AI’s impacts will unfold gradually over decades. If this is true, there are major gaps in our current evidence infrastructure, because it over-emphasizes the capability layer.
