Conferencia de UNESCO del 8M "Gender Equality and the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence: What solutions from the private sector".

Since rescheduling the conference was not possible, we decided to reorient our work and launch a Global Dialogue on Gender Equality and Artificial Intelligence (the Dialogue) with leaders in AI, digital technology and gender equality from academia, civil society and the private sector. We structured the Dialogue around eight questions that participants could answer either in writing or through a virtual interview session that was recorded. The present report shares the main findings from experts’ contributions to UNESCO’s Dialogue on Gender Equality and AI, as well as additional research and analysis conducted by an external consultant, Jennifer Breslin1. The report provides recommendations on how to address gender equality considerations in AI principles. It also offers guidance to the public and private sectors, as well as to civil society and other stakeholders, regarding how to operationalize gender equality and AI principles.

UNESCO, for example, is advocating for a humanistic approach to AI that would ensure that AI contributes to the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and of human rights frameworks. Others are asking for the decolonization of AI6, arguing that AI has become a tool of digital colonialism, whereby ‘poorer countries are overwhelmed by readily available services and technology, and cannot develop their own industries and products that compete with Western corporations’.7 Others still are calling for a use of AI that protects data rights and sovereignty, expands collective as well as individual choices, dismantles patriarchy, the neo-liberal order and late stage/extractive capitalism, and promotes human flourishing over relentless economic growth.8 Gender equality is necessary for the realization of any and all of the goals above, as well as being an objective in and of itself. It thus needs to be mainstreamed and considered at the highest level of outcomes and societal imperatives
