Technology is commonly thought of as a neutral entity that can lead our society to a more equitable future. However, technology emerges in and is influenced by social contexts. Discrimination is therefore not only within the realm of possibility, but is often even the order of the day.

How exactly do algorithms and artificial intelligence actively contribute to this?
What approaches to solutions and what ideas for the future are being discussed for discrimination-free coexistence?
