Is AI on the side of girls? Look for gender stereotypes in AI products

20 March @ 10:00 - 13:00
20/03/2026 @ 10:00 - 13:00
Suitable for: ages 14-18
Language: Italian
Organized by: International Festival for Gender Equality in collaboration with Transizioni Hub

In this 60-minute workshop, participants become “bias hackers,” critical analysts of language and images produced by Artificial Intelligence. Through a reverse engineering game, the girls and boys, divided into teams, analyze texts, images, and videos generated by AI to identify hidden gender stereotypes, linguistic biases, and implicit assumptions. The goal is not to “break” AI, but to understand how it works: what images of the world it reproduces, what roles it assigns, what voices it amplifies or silences.

The first 30 minutes are devoted to the workshop, and the next 30 minutes are spent openly discussing the results.

The workshop is led by Sonia Montegiove, journalist and computer scientist, Giuseppina Bonerba, professor of Semiotics at the University of Perugia, and M.Pia Fanciulli, journalist.
