Throughout history, human beings have used a wide variety of divination procedures (such as Tarot decks) as technologies to understand the present and reshape the future. In this workshop, a set of divination cards composing an oracle will guide us towards an experience of envisioning transfeminist AIs and other technologies. The wisdom of the oracle, embedded with transfeminist values, will help us foresee a better future where tech is co-designed with people who are too often excluded from or targeted by technology in today’s world. Participants will learn about what an intersectional transfeminist lens can bring to the discussion about AI; engage in a speculative design exercise; generate ideas for new technologies; and discuss how to partner with community based organizations to design new technologies.
