Understanding Intersectionality in AI Gender Bias

Intersectionality explores how overlapping social identities—such as race, gender, class, and sexuality—interact to create unique experiences of discrimination. In AI, failing to consider intersectionality often leads to gender bias that disproportionately impacts women of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and others with intersecting marginalized identities. This means AI systems might perform well for one subset of women but poorly for others, underscoring the need for more nuanced data and modeling.
