Some time ago, from Diversa, we wrote, designed, co-created, hacked, reimagined, mapped, and conspired to develop a design framework to accompany technical teams, design teams, communities, and all people involved in technology development—especially artificial intelligence—to do so from a feminist, situated, just, and responsible perspective. This framework places people, territories, and our relationship with nature at the center. Recently, we had the opportunity to share part of this methodology during a workshop at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, within the framework of the FemTech – Feminist Tech program.

During the workshop, we asked ourselves:
What does it really mean to design feminist technology? AI is not neutral. It is not enough to say that a technology is "inclusive" or "for the common good." Artificial intelligence by itself cannot be feminist. Designing feminist technologies involves going far beyond functionality or efficiency. It means assuming that design is always political. Designing feminist AI is not a stage or a technical function: it is a continuous process that:
* Involves communities from the beginning.
* Recognizes diverse knowledge and situated experiences.
* Places care, accountability, and social justice at the center.

Through co-design dynamics and collective reflection, we discussed how to prevent technology from reproducing inequalities, and how to open space for it to transform them. We will very soon publish this complete design framework on our website with all its materials!

We continue conspiring for technologies that place life at the center.
