Description
Debate surrounding the ethics of Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative AI usage frequently discusses the social impact such technology poses when it is inherently tied to human bias. In the early months of 2026 academics have pushed back against the use of this technology in response to the violent rhetoric against women AI produces, arguing that more research and guidelines must be assessed before releasing these models to the public. This lecture examines the relationship between the colonial frameworks of sexism in Latin America with the paralleling concern for sexist radicalism being produced by AI. LLMs have the capacity to impede global progress towards gender equity because of its human bias, much in the way colonial ideology represses gender equity in Hispanic Latin America (HLA). I present this research under the perspective of post-colonial socialization theory and queer theory to contextualize the development of specific behavior within a cishetero-normative patriarchy in HLA. After analyzing various texts concerning marianismo, machismo, and popular media depicting AI, I argue that patriarchal sexism in HLA mirrors the misogyny inherent to AI (real and imagined).
