Karine Gentelet, an affiliated researcher of the ACT Partnership, recently co-authored a new article with Lily-Canelle Mathieu and Alexandra Bahary-Dionne. The publication stems from their research on the use of artificial intelligence and digital technologies as tools for social justice.
This research was supported by the ACT (Autonomy through Cyberjustice Technologies) Partnership and by OBVIA (International Observatory on the Societal Impacts of AI and Digital Technologies).
The research examines how marginalized groups and communities use digital technologies and AI to advance representation, empowerment, and social justice objectives.
