Feminist AI Gender, Work and Organization Special Issue: Virtual Workshop

Summary of SI: 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).
