Bio: Ivana Feldfeber is the executive directress of DataGenero, specializing in the intersections of artificial intelligence, data, and gender.

Abstract: The AymurAI project is a pioneering initiative that applies feminist methodologies to artificial intelligence (AI) in Latin America. This project is being implemented in Argentina and Costa Rica. Developed by DataGénero, AymurAI uses AI to make gender-based violence visible by collecting, processing, and using data through an intersectional and decolonial lens.
This talk will explore how AymurAI challenges dominant AI paradigms by centering open software, transparency, community participation, and ethical data practices. We will discuss its role in fostering open justice, supporting evidence-based policymaking, and ensuring AI tools are designed with and for the communities they impact. By highlighting key findings, challenges, and future directions, this session invites participants to rethink AI development from a feminist, Latin American perspective.
