Abstract

Background: The last five years have been dizzying for anyone concerned with AI policymaking and regulation. This briefing describes four ways to enact feminist research praxis in technology policy research. Analysis: Drawing on lessons from the JUST AI Network in the United Kingdom and insights from both feminist and disability studies, this study critiques and redevelops relationships between discourse, knowledge, and institutional structures. Conclusions and Implications: To transform technology policy work, we must prioritize greater reflexivity, adopt networking approaches that channel resources to less-connected actors, and establish and sustain radical groupings and relationships to produce accessible futures, even when these efforts do not yield short-term benefits.
