Abstract

At a time of profound changes in the way we live and coexist, such as those brought about by current digitalisation, political philosophy is presented as a tool that allows us to approach the technological revolution of artificial intelligence from a critical and emancipatory perspective. From a situated position, this article will reflect on the inequalities that the change places us in front of, pointing out the possibilities. To this end, Young’s five operational categories (exploitation, marginalisation, disempowerment, cultural imperialism and violence) will be applied to artificial intelligence, allowing us to diagnose injustices and point to possible solutions. From a feminist perspective, we will question the supposed neutrality of AI and analyse the effects, intended and unintended, of the digitalisation of society. It will conclude with the need to propose a series of changes that will bring us closer to a more inclusive digitalisation.
