In this episode of DCU Digital Law Perspectives, our usual host Victor Enriquez gives the floor to Monique Munarini, a postdoctoral researcher at Trinity College Dublin, and Wiykiynyuy Fogue Leslyarode, a master’s student in the European Master’s in Law, Data and Artificial Intelligence at Dublin City University, to discuss gender-based approaches to technology and the challenges of ensuring fairness in AI systems.

In their conversation, they explore Monique’s work on equity-based frameworks for AI auditing, with a focus on how feminist and decolonial perspectives can help expose and address discrimination in recruitment technologies, cyber gender-based violence, and other forms of digital harm.

The discussion also examines the limits of current regulatory approaches, the question of who is accountable when technology causes harm, and whether AI is being developed to meet genuine needs or primarily to generate profit.

They also reflect on the broader role of legislation, civil society, and public awareness in shaping more responsible technologies, while asking what it really takes to build systems that protect women’s rights and uphold fundamental rights more generally. A thought-provoking episode for anyone interested in AI governance, gender justice, and the social impact of emerging technologies.
