THE FEMTEXT- A GENDERED PERSPECTIVE OF AI

Abstract

Sustainable development, as described by the Brundtland Report, involves catering to contemporary needs without impairing future generations' ability to satisfy their own. This principle is not just theoretical; it has pressing practical implications across social, economic, and environmental realms, all of which need considerable attention. Gender Equality is one of these crucial aspects. Although Artificial Intelligence is increasingly being spotlighted by countries and respected international organizations like the United Nations, UNICEF, and UNESCO, the connections between AI, Gender, and Sustainable Development are seldom discussed. Furthermore, the literature rarely addresses the aspects of education and the Gender Pay gap within this framework. This paper aims to provide a succinct depiction of the benefits and limitations of AI in promoting Gender Equality. Additionally, the research explores the importance of AI in addressing the Gender pay gap and its potential impact on achieving SDG 8 by 2030. What sets this paper apart is its consideration of the behavioral dimension, specifically examining the involvement of men in advancing Gender Equality, acknowledging their long-standing societal privileges.
