Gender Bias in AI
A kitchen from a shantytown house; there is a table, covered by white oilcloth, teapot standing on it; two plastic bottle caps at the corner of the table. The kitchen opens to the garden; washed linens hung on the rope to dry, above them, most probably vine leaves. At the opposite side of the kitchen enterance a wall stands, hosting green leaf flowers in pots.

The analysis highlights how AI applications, from chatbots reinforcing gendered stereotypes to art generators perpetuating a white male gaze, threaten to exacerbate social inequities
