Current AI applications are often adopting stereotypes, see for example Amazon’s Alexa and Apple’s Siri, games, factory applications and so on. These are outdated views, which do not reflect our society, or at least how we want modern society to progress.
Gender bias occurs in machine learning processes when gender imbalanced samples are used to realize datasets for learning/training of AI software. In fact, humans transfer their own biases in AI systems. Biases can involve gender as well as ethnicity, age, sexuality and so on.
There is a need to address suitably AI systems in order to ensure unbiased approaches, particularly because AI will impact significantly our society. The tangible risk is to leave out part of our communities, which could not benefit from technological opportunities offered by AI systems.

The Gender topics, which need to be addressed from the Gender and AI perspective, include, but are not limited to:

The Gender Binary: Gender Stereotypes in AI
The Gender Politics of AI: Ethics, Policy and Privacy
Data, Discrimination and Diversity
AI and Gender in Organizations
New directions for research
Agent-based and Multi-agent Systems (MAS)
Computational Intelligence (CI)
Constraints and Satisfiability (CS)
Games and Virtual Environments (GAME)
Heuristic Search (HEU)
Human Aspects in AI (HAI)
Information Retrieval and Filtering (IRF)
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KRR)
Machine Learning (ML)
Multidisciplinary Topics and Applications (MULT)
Natural Language Processing (NLP)

Robotics (ROB)
Safe, Explainable, and Trustworthy AI (XAI)
Semantic Technologies (SEM)
Uncertainty in AI (UAI)
Vision (VIS)
