What role does gender play in scientific research and the development of technologies? This book provides methodological expertise, research experiences and empirical findings in the dynamic field of Science and Technology Studies. The authors, coming from computer science, social sciences, or cultural studies of science, discuss how to ask questions about gender and give examples for the application in interdisciplinary research, development and teaching. Topics range from the design of information and communication technologies, epistemologies of biology and chemistry to teaching mathematics and professional processes in engineering.

Algorithmen werden als zentrale Akteure der digitalen Transformation gehandelt. Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) wird als Lösung für dringende aktuelle und zukünftige Probleme in der Medizin gerahmt. Der Beitrag geht der Frage nach, wie – oft unbewusst – faktisch diskriminierende Werte sozialer Ordnung in Algorithmen eingeschrieben werden und der weithin beklagte Gender Bias sowie rassistische Diskriminierung fortgeschrieben oder sogar verstärkt wird. Es wird erörtert, wie eine mit KI verbundene Automatisierung von Diskriminierung Ansprüche an ein gleichberechtigtes Zusammenleben vielfältiger und widersprüchlicher menschlicher Existenz erneut breit diskutierbar macht. Im Beitrag werden diese Fragen anhand des Einsatzes von KI bei der Hautkrebs- und der Brustkrebsdiagnose erörtert. Diese werden mit theoretischen und methodischen Zugängen aus der Genderforschung, die sozialen Konstruktivismus, Poststrukturalismus und New Materialism mit Ansätzen der Intersektionalitätsforschung und der Queer Theory verbinden, konfrontiert.
