“In a captivating narrative style, Eleonore Fournier-Tombs shares her perspective on the gender discrimination rampant in our contemporary society. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic (and beyond), the author demonstrates how societal inequalities not only persist but are even amplified in artificial intelligence technologies. From the representation of women embedded within these technologies, to the respective roles of men and women in the job market, and even through to the position of women in the sciences, her argument is impeccably made, substantiated by a plethora of concrete examples from different parts of the globe. This book is a major contribution to the paramount struggle for a better and more equitable society. It deserves to be widely read and shared, and we must thank the author for showing us this reality in such a lucid and accessible way.” (Céline Castets-Renard, Research Chair in Accountable AI in a Global Context, University of Ottawa)
“Covering such a complex and sensitive issue such as women’s rights and gender equality in the age of AI in a candid, comprehensive, compelling, captivating and constructive manner seemed all but impossible, but Eleonore Fournier-Tombs did it.” (Emmanuel Letouzé, Director, Data-Pop Alliance)
