Resumo:In recent years, several studies have shown ethical deviations, as well as racism and sexism in the processes and systems of knowledge organization that contribute to perpetuating prejudices and discrimination against historically marginalized populations such as blacks, indigenous peoples, women, LGBTQIA+, among others. These issues are present both in physical and digital environments, including those marked by the intensive use of artificial intelligence algorithms such as search engines, image banks and library discovery systems. This raises questions about the reproduction of discrimination and prejudice in the digital environment. In this sense, the present work aims to analyze manifestations of algorithmic biases in knowledge organization processes and systems that perpetuate race and gender discrimination. For this, bibliographical research is used in order to identify cases of racism and algorithmic sexism according to the environment of occurrence or system of organization of the knowledge involved. From the retrieved literature, three cases were selected, reflected in three published works, which address algorithmic biases in search engines, image banks and library discovery systems. The results were obtained through a critical analysis of the three works observed. During this process, it was possible to verify manifestations of racism and sexism both in the Google search engine, as well as in the Shuttersstock, Stockphotos and Getty Images image banks and in library discovery systems, fundamentally related to processes of indexing and categorization of subjects and images. These biases mostly affect the representation of black populations and women, also making it difficult to access correct and truthful information about these social groups. The analyzes also reveal the lack of transparency and regulation in the use of artificial intelligence algorithms. It concludes by highlighting the importance of information professionals who know and dominate these discussions, as well as further research in this area to ensure that the processes and systems of knowledge organization do not contribute to the perpetuation of discrimination and inequalities of race and gender.
