Call for Papers: Gender, Work & Organization Special Issue on Feminist AI - Feminist perspectives on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the workplace

[Efpraxia Zamani]

The digitalization of work, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has created an urgent need to understand and foster inclusion in increasingly virtual and hybrid work environments (Magrizos et al., 2023), fundamentally transforming organizational approaches and necessitating new conceptualizations of workplace inclusion (Georgiadou et al., 2024). As artificial intelligence (AI) technologies play an expanding role in shaping these workplaces – impacting everything from recruitment and performance evaluation to communication and collaboration - their rapid development and implementation is profoundly reshaping work and organizations. At the same time AI technologies are designed and developed within the organizational context where work is largely informed by market logics. With AI systems becoming prevalent across industries and job functions, it is essential to examine their impacts at workplaces and also work around the development of AI through a feminist lens (Wajcman and Young, 2023).

With this Special Issue, we seek to advance the concept of Feminist AI and its applications in work and organizational settings by:
-Developing feminist theoretical approaches to understanding and shaping AI in the workplace
-Examining how AI systems are impacting gendered experiences, identities, and power dynamics at work
-Exploring the potential of AI to both reinforce and disrupt gender inequalities across different contexts
-Proposing feminist interventions and alternatives for more equitable AI design and implementation
