Gender and Feminist Considerations in Artificial Intelligence from a Developing-World Perspective, with India as a Case Study

This manuscript discusses the relationship between women, technology manifestation, and likely prospects in the developing world. Using India as a case study, the manuscript goes on to discuss how AI (Artificial Intelligence) and robotics affect women's prospects in developing countries. Women in developing countries, notably in South Asia, are perceived as doing domestic work and are underrepresented in high-level professions. They are disproportionately underemployed and face prejudice in the workplace. The purpose of this study is to determine if the introduction of AI would exacerbate the already precarious situation of women in the developing world or if it would serve as a liberating force. While studies on the impact of AI on women have been undertaken in developed countries, there has been less research in developing countries. This manuscript attempts to fill that need.

本论文探讨了发展中地区女性、技术的具象表现形态与未来发展前景之间的关联。以印度为案例研究对象，本文进一步分析了人工智能（Artificial Intelligence）与机器人技术对发展中国家女性发展前景的影响。发展中国家的女性，尤其是南亚地区的女性，往往被刻板地归类为仅承担家政劳动，且在高端职业领域的占比严重不足；她们面临着不成比例的就业不足问题，同时在职场中遭遇各类歧视。本研究的核心目标在于厘清：人工智能的普及应用是否会加剧发展中国家女性本已岌岌可危的处境，抑或能成为赋能女性、释放其发展潜力的解放性力量。尽管发达国家已开展了诸多有关人工智能对女性影响的相关研究，但发展中国家领域内的相关研究仍较为匮乏。本论文旨在填补这一研究空白。
