A central feature of this dossier is its focus on Ibero-America and Latin America. It offers a transatlantic perspective that brings together works from our region, which has sociocultural characteristics distinct from those of other regions. Much of the debate on AI, algorithmic bias, and gender has taken place in Anglo-Saxon contexts or at academic institutions that top international rankings. However, gender inequalities, digital divides, media ecosystems, journalistic cultures, science policies, and the ways in which knowledge circulates take on specific forms in Latin America, Spain, and other Ibero-American regions. This territorial and methodological diversity allows us to discuss AI as a set of systems embedded in specific social contexts, rather than as a universal technology with uniform effects.
