Feminist epistemology for machine learning systems design

This paper presents a series of feminist epistemological concepts as tools for developing critical, more accountable, and contextualised approaches to machine learning systems design. Namely, we suggest that the methods of situated knowledges or situating, figurations or figuring, diffraction or diffracting, and critical fabulation or speculation can be productively actualised in the field of machine learning systems design. We also suggest that the meta-method for doing this actualisation requires not so much translation but transposition - a creative and critical adaptation to speak to machine learning contexts.

Towards Feminist Intersectional XAI: From Explainability to Response-Ability

This paper follows calls for critical approaches to computing and conceptualisations of intersectional, feminist, decolonial HCI and AI design and asks what a feminist intersectional perspective in HCXAI research and design might look like. Sketching out initial research directions and implications for explainable AI design, it suggests that explainability from a feminist perspective would include the fostering of response-ability - the capacity to critically evaluate and respond to AI systems - and would centre marginalised perspectives.

Explaining the ghosts: Feminist intersectional XAI and cartography as methods to account for invisible labour

Contemporary automation through AI entails a substantial amount of behind-the-scenes human labour, which is often both invisibilised and underpaid. Since invisible labour, including labelling and maintenance work, is an integral part of contemporary AI systems, it remains important to sensitise users to its role. We suggest that this could be done through explainable AI (XAI) design, particularly feminist intersectional XAI. We propose the method of cartography, which stems from feminist intersectional research, to draw out a systemic perspective of AI and include dimensions of AI that pertain to invisible labour.
