Building on Bogdana Rakova’s “Terms We Serve With”, this panel will focus on deepfakes and “challenge one-sided and coercive modes of participation in AI development”. The panel will question the current absence of substantive research into how deepfakes will impact Black women and explore what that reveals about attempts to govern AI. The panel will demonstrate how Black women’s leadership, lived experiences, technical expertise and cultural fluency can help ensure AI is designed and governed in ways that encourage and support our collective humanity; and we will show how grassroots, community-led and intersectional ideas of abundant justice and collective care provide a possibility model for governance frameworks that move beyond punitive and expensive carceral solutions and towards redress, repair and healing.
