ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to bring prudential ethics into conversation with the theoretical laying of intersectionality. It demonstrates the need for an intersectionality approach to prudential ethics and discusses how the junction of prudential ethics and intersectionality theory and AI allows us to conceptualize and harness, for the first time, patterns of inequality. The chapter also aims to fill a critical void for technological innovation governance scholars and decision makers who have recognized the importance of an intersectionality perspective but who are facing difficulties in understanding its transformational contributions and applications in technological innovation implementation and evaluation processes. To better understand how prudential ethics can provide a normative framework by integrating the insights of intersectionality, it is useful to sketch out a multi-strand working model for applying intersectionality in ethics and policymaking developed by A. Parken and H. Young.
