Abstract

In the Queer Technologies work series, the artist Zach Blas negotiates the relationship between sex, gender, and technology, which he sees to be relational and entangled. If war is technological, perpetual, and networked, queer networks can provide interstices - places of difference that unite queer activists, intellectuals, and artists in technological agency. Gay Bombs is a strategy that blows up this standard with the hopes of re-wiring a non-standard of queerness. This chapter focuses on the reciprocity of power and artificial intelligence (AI) and its entanglements with fundamental and hierarchical structures that permeate society, but its central impetus lies within the potential that the queer(y)ing of technologies such as AI might bring. More recently, discrimination has become a central point of focus to describe the socio-political impact of AI in a way that has entered societal discourse through the concept of algorithmic bias. Finally, the chapter also provides an overview of this book.
