Meet Our Speakers

At the Gendering AI Conference, we are proud to welcome a groundbreaking lineup of speakers who are reimagining the future of artificial intelligence through feminist and decolonial perspectives. This year’s theme, "Decolonizing AI: AI Through Feminist Lense," highlights leaders, scholars, and changemakers who are challenging dominant narratives, amplifying marginalized voices, and shaping more just technological futures.

From visionary researchers to grassroots organizers, cultural critics, and industry innovators, our speakers bring a wealth of knowledge and lived experience. Together, they will interrogate the power structures embedded in AI, share strategies for dismantling systemic bias, and envision pathways toward technologies that honor equity, accountability, and collective well-being.

Explore their profiles below to learn more about their journeys, contributions, and the transformative ideas they’ll be sharing at the conference.
