 ave Sc(AI)ence” at ai.lu.se&nbsp\;AbstractSoftware engineering is a para
 digm of human activities that incorporates our problem-solving capabilitie
 s\, cognitive aspects\, and social interaction. Software is an infrastruct
 ure of all industries and societies around the world\, serving global user
 s of all genders. However\, there is a current gender gap in both the deve
 lopment and operations of software products and services. In 2023\, intern
 et users reached 5.3 billion\, constituting 65.7% of the world population.
  About 70% of males and 63% of females globally use the internet\, but mer
 ely 5.17% of the worldwide software developer population (27 millions) is 
 comprised of women.Gender studies is a growing research topic in software 
 engineering as it re-lates to the diversity and inclusion issues for perfo
 rming and healthy teamwork. Several studies have been devoted to understan
 ding the relation between gender and software engineering.In the era of Ar
 tificial Intelligence (AI) and increasing automation in software industry\
 , the role of humans is even more emphasized across age\, culture and gend
 er. However\, the engagement of genders in Software Engineering is not uni
 form. It is important to address the gender gap in software engineering ur
 gently when new AI intensive software systems are being created because th
 ere is a risk that AI generated software perpetuates sexist assumptions an
 d ideologies.Feminism can be defined as both a theoretical perspective and
  a social move-ment aiming to diminish and ultimately eliminate sexist ine
 quality and oppres-sion. The concept of intersectionality explores the int
 erconnectedness of social differences\, including race\, gender\, class\, 
 ethnicity\, sexuality\, and nationality. Feminism draws attention to the s
 ystemic power dynamics emerging from the interaction of various dimensions
  of social difference across individual\, institu-tional\, cultural\, and 
 societal spheres of influence.The goal of this lecture is to learn about s
 oftware engineering and gender research\, and to discuss the state of the 
 art about gender issues in core topics of software engineering. The lectur
 e will provide participants with a clear definition and understanding of S
 oftware Engineering and gender and explain the origins and historical cont
 ext that led to the emergence of this field. The intended audience for the
  lecture includes researchers\, software engi-neers\, policy-makers\, educ
 ators as well as anyone who is interested in the inter-section of technolo
 gy and social issues.This work is partially supported by the EUGAIN COST A
 ction CA19122 - European Network for Gender Balance in Informatics.Program

 e.About the workshop seriesWhile feminist approaches to technoscience are 
 getting increasing attention\, fields such as Artificial Intelligence\, Hu
 man-Robot Interaction and Human-Computer Interaction are still male-domina
 ted. Similarly\, new technologies\, from assistive robots to chatbots\, ar
 e often imbued with the same intrinsic gender and ethnic stereotypes and b
 iases present in our Western society. An increasing number of scholars hav
 e thus called for a feminist reboot\, praising more ethical\, sustainable 
 and inclusive research practices and epistemologies in the hope of better 
 technology. Our workshop series "Girls just want to have Sc(AI)ence" aims 
 to foster knowledge and discussions on critical and feminist approaches to
  technology by engaging scholars working with AI from a variety of discipl
 ines -from data science to art\, political studies and philosophy\, and in
 vite them to reflect and imagine together how to use tools and theories fr
 om critical and feminist studies to implement more thcial\, sustainable an
 d inclusive technology-related practices and research.More info can be fou
