Abstract
The concept of globalization has often implied that countries in the Global South need to ‘catch up’ with Western civilization and technology. In this paper, I critique that approach and turn instead to a more critical framework that encompasses a study of gender, technology and globalization. Utilizing a gender sensitive framework, I examine people’s lived experiences from a comparative perspective and assess the gendered aspects of globalization and artificial intelligence; and articulate the connections between gender, class, race/ethnicity, nationality among other power relations within a global context.
