What is it about?
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been criticized for reproducing existing power hierarchies, social biases and discrimination while they have been promoted as innovative and enhancing our life. This paper reconsiders these recurrent issues of hierarchies and power from a feminist de-Westernizing perspective.

Why is it important?
We identify three modes of contemporary sexual politics related to AI and use this framework for the case of Japan. In doing so, we illustrate how deeply gender and technologies are intertwined in specific cultural context.
Perspectives
I hope this paper contributes to furthering critical discussions about AI, showing how critical feminist and de-Westernizing approaches can be useful for analysis of difference and power.
