Alicante Gender Equality Forum – Trustworthy AI

Abstract

This masterclass examined algorithmic discrimination and trustworthy AI in the context of local public administration with a gender perspective. The talk addressed how AI systems can reproduce or amplify structural inequalities, the technical and sociotechnical sources of bias, and the importance of responsible design, evaluation, transparency, and governance. Special attention was given to fairness-aware machine learning, public-sector accountability, and the need to ensure that AI tools do not perpetuate gender-based inequalities.

Algorithmic Fairness and Trustworthy AI

I delivered the masterclass “Algorithmic Fairness and Trustworthy AI” as part of the second edition of Encuentros por la Igualdad de Género, held at the Museo Arqueológico de Alicante (MARQ) and focused on the use of artificial intelligence in local public administration from a gender-equality perspective.

The session explored how AI systems can reproduce or amplify discrimination, especially when they are deployed in institutional and high-impact decision-making contexts. It combined technical foundations of algorithmic fairness with a broader discussion of trustworthy AI, public-sector accountability, and the social implications of automated decision-making.

The talk covered:

  • 🧮 What is AI: dydactic and non-hype explanation of what is AI.
  • ⚖️ Algorithmic discrimination in GenAI, decision-making and social networks: how AI systems can reproduce, conceal, or amplify social and gender inequalities.
  • 🏛️ Public-sector AI governance: transparency, accountability, contestability, and responsible institutional adoption.

The session emphasized that trustworthy AI in government requires more than technical performance: it requires institutional responsibility, social awareness, and explicit safeguards against discrimination.
