This position paper sets out three key considerations for implementing artificial intelligence (AI) tools into a feminist model of care for the Women's Health NSW sector in New South Wales. It is informed by current legal, regulatory and professional frameworks, and consultation with key stakeholders across legal, health, and domestic, family and sexual violence sectors. 

The paper unpacks the risks and challenges for each consideration, concluding the paper with ten recommendations that support the safe integration of AI in a feminist model of care.

Applying a feminist lens to AI requires exploring how the technology interacts with pre-existing systemic bias, and the potential for AI tools to compound or exacerbate the effects of sex-role stereotyping and gender, ability and cultural-based discrimination.

Key considerations

1. AI may impact women’s trust and safety, leading to poorer health outcomes.
2. AI has inherited stigma and discrimination at odds with a feminist model of care.
3. Our use of AI must be lawful, and maintain our quality assurance standards.
