Dear colleagues,
We hereby invite you to submit your abstracts to our upcoming session
on "AI, Gender and the Future of Work", as part of the WG10 Digital
Sociology (host committee), at the 5th ISA Forum of Sociology next year
(July 6th-11th, 2025) in Rabat, Morocco.
Artificial intelligence has become increasingly important in the world
of work in recent years. While there has been an intense public debate
about the opportunities and risks for several years now, the hype
surrounding ChatGPT has also led to a dynamic everyday use of AI. At
the same time, hidden AI applications have been used in the world of
work for some time without users being aware of it. Furthermore, first
research as well as news media reports showed that AI has or could have
various gender-relevant effects. In addition to the problematization of
obvious discriminatory effects (e.g. bias in automated translations or
recruiting applications), automation risks and the anticipated
different impact on male and female professions, as well as the
male-dominated work cultures, the "diversity crisis" in development
teams, and sexism in the tech industry were discussed. Both work and
technology are deeply shaped by historically evolved gendered
inequalities. The question of what significance technological change
has for the stabilization or destabilization of gender inequalities is
therefore anything but new. However, new technologies always offer
opportunities to renegotiate power and gender relations and to shape
working conditions. The question of how gender inequality in the world
of work will change with AI is still open. This session will present
current research on AI, gender, intersectional aspects, and the future
of work. Papers on empirical findings, theoretical and conceptual
considerations as well as methodological aspects are welcome.
Please upload your abstracts until October 15th, 2024 online via the
