About me
As a Doctoral Candidate at the GCSC, Lucía is researching the epistemological, material and ethic impacts, implications and possibilities of using artificial intelligence to address social issues (commonly referred to as "AI for Good" or "AI for Development") and how organizations, communities or individuals that self-identify as feminist and decolonial operate within that framework. She adopts a decolonial feminist theories-praxis perspective. She has a background in Political Science and Cultural Studies from Universidad de los Andes in Colombia and a Masters in Postcolonial Studies from Goldsmiths University of London, UK. By studying two AI interventions in the Majority World, her work examines how power structures and epistemological hierarchies permeate how technology is understood, developed, and governed.
