Generative AIs reify and circulate existing gender gaps and biases, but give them a veneer of objectivity and neutrality despite the opacity of their processes and ability to reproduce and increase situations of inequality and exclusion. The situation is one of clear algorithmic and epistemic injustice that confronts us with major challenges in our modern democracies. With examples of specific cases and with the critical review of important texts that offer interpretative keys to understand the impact of the rapid development and implementation of these tools, we will outline some guidelines that will require more in-depth studies, but that aim to collect, from the perspective of science, technology and gender studies, new challenges for the development of the discipline and to envision the possibilities of a feminist AI.
