Gender bias in AI: rethinking invisible norms

In this unfiltered episode, Inga is joined by Marianna, Muskaan, and Almina for an open, unscripted conversation that blends personal experiences, cultural observations, and critical reflection. Today’s topic: gender bias in AI, AI assistants, and the idea of digital domesticity. Why do so many virtual assistants default to women’s voices? What assumptions about care, service, and authority are quietly coded into the technologies we use every day? And how do historical gender roles resurface in supposedly “neutral” innovations? From algorithmic bias to the feminization of digital labor, the team unpacks how artificial intelligence can reinforce — or challenge — existing power structures. Thoughtful, candid, and reflective, this episode invites you to rethink the invisible norms shaping our digital world. Additional resources  Garland, A. (Director). (2014). Ex Machina [Film].
