Journal Article
The (In)Visibility of Black Women and AI in Nnedi Okorafor's 'Spider the Artist'
2025
Overview
Even before the recent controversies surrounding Elon Musk and his AI chatbot Grok (Taylor 2025), it was common knowledge that the algorithms governing cybernetic communications systems were biased in terms of class, race, gender, and sexuality, and reflective of the profiles of their designers in Silicon Valley. [...]Facebook has been accused of discriminating against specific racial and religious groups by restricting the visibility of real estate advertisements and not displaying them alongside housing and financial services advertisements for other users (Benner et al 2019). In 2016, an analysis of the search results on Google Images for 'hair styles that are not suitable for work' predominantly depicted black women since AI facial recognition technology is disproportionately imprecise when identifying young black women in comparison to their white male counterparts (Alexander 2016). [...]people will be able to devote more of their time to leisure activities.
