This resource defines gender-responsive AI projects and highlights the importance of gender equality and inclusion in algorithmic decision-making as a foundation for AI4D discussions and actions.
Objectives of this resource: To provide an operational definition of gender-responsive projects in the context of AI-driven research and innovation, and synthesize available research that illustrates why gender equality and inclusion (GEI) considerations matter for the design and use of algorithmic decision-making. This synthesis of the available literature is far from comprehensive, and is meant to serve as a starting point for discussions and actions around GEI excellence for AI4D labs and hubs.
