Gender injustice remains a persistent phenomenon in contemporary society, requiring strategic efforts to anticipate and overcome it. This paper aims to analyze the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in fostering gender justice, examined through the lens of opportunities and challenges within the framework of social constructionism theory. The study employs a literature review approach, with data gathered from books, scientific articles, and other relevant sources. The process involves data collection, selection, descriptive analysis, and content analysis, followed by drawing conclusions. The findings reveal that gender injustice in the era of AI is largely shaped by structural and technological factors. These include the replication of existing social inequalities within digital systems, the underrepresentation of women in AI development, limited and biased datasets, algorithmic discrimination, as well as the absence of comprehensive policies and regulations to address these issues. Such challenges demonstrate how technology may reinforce, rather than diminish, societal biases if left unexamined. Nonetheless, AI also presents significant opportunities to advance gender justice. AI systems can be designed to identify and reduce discriminatory practices, promote women’s participation in technological development, and encourage multi-stakeholder collaboration between governments, industries, and civil society. Furthermore, AI can support educational initiatives and awareness programs aimed at building more inclusive digital ecosystems. By addressing both risks and opportunities, the integration of AI into society has the potential to serve as a transformative force in reducing gender disparities. This study concludes that achieving gender justice through AI requires critical reflection on social structures, proactive regulation, inclusive participation, and ethical innovation to ensure that technology contributes positively to equality.
