Deep Fake: A New Weapon Targeting Women
This paper attempts to provide a definition of what deepfake is and the technological basis that allowed its development to its current forms and which still presents great opportunities for the further development of this phenomenon. The paper sheds light on the almost exclusive targeting of deepfake technologies in its pornographic aspect of women rather than men. It also exposes the development of the size and nature of targeting in recent years. The paper tries to clarify the extremely dangerous effects of the false content on the life and safety of its victims, with a focus on the psychological effects.
Constructing Gender Identities Online
This paper depends on scientific evidence to argue that given that Cyberspace can be proven to be a social space, it can be safely assumed that it impacts the constitution of gender identities of people interacting with each other within it. It also depends on empirical evidence from previous research that studied gender practices online, especially later research focusing on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
Cyberspace Sexism Against Women
In this paper, we will discuss the question: Why has Cyberspace failed to be different from the wider societal space? Namely, why isn’t it less sexist and misogynist? The paper tries to explain, based on many sources, that Cybersexism is not a mere direct reflection of societal sexism.
Negative effects of Artificial Intelligence
This paper sheds light on the biggest dangers and negative effects surrounding AI, which many fear may become an imminent reality. These negative effects include unemployment, bias, terrorism, and risks to privacy, which the paper will discuss in detail.

Data from a Gender Perspective… How to Close the Data Gap between Genders
According to statistics, males represent 50.5% of the total world population while females represent 49.5% of it. Despite the close ratios, this is not reflected in data on which different fields all over the world depend. Among these fields, that are increasingly and hugely impacting all aspects of life, are the Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. During the development of AI algorithms, women, i.e., half of the world’s population, are mostly ignored, while depending almost exclusively on data representing males. This leads to such systems being biased due to the bias of data they depend on.
How to Overcome AI Bias… Techniques and Tools
Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems have enabled people around the world to test new experiments and capabilities, and have been widely used in many areas, ranging from nominating books and T.V shows to more complex tasks such as selecting candidates for various jobs or even more sensitive tasks such as predicting diseases. AI systems require […]
