This comprehensive volume delves into the intricate interplay between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the societal norms surrounding gender and sexuality, shedding light on how these technologies both reflect and perpetuate these normative representations. By embarking on a socio-technical exploration, the book aims to foster more diverse and radical discussions about our relationship with digital technologies.

Rather than solely focusing on empirical examples and technical solutions, the book takes a theoretical approach, positioning queer theory as a vital lens through which to understand AI differently. Through a series of thought-provoking chapters, it raises critical questions about the politics and ethics of machine embodiments and data imaginaries, while also exploring the potential for technical advancements to shape a society characterized by shifting diversity and multiplicity.

To achieve this, the book transcends disciplinary boundaries, drawing upon a diverse range of conceptual tools, critical approaches, and theoretical traditions. It serves as an invaluable resource for students and researchers in the fields of gender and sexuality, new media and digital cultures, cultural theory, art and visual culture, and AI.
