Citizen Digital Foundation’s Post

Recently, IGPP hosted Ms. Nidhi Sudhan, Co-founder, Citizen Digital Foundation, for a panel discussion on ‘𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐈: 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬’ where she has rightly pointed out the critical gaps in #policymaking and the need for inclusive frameworks. Effective policies require diverse perspectives to address all citizens' needs, making it essential to include voices from various backgrounds for equitable and just outcomes.

At White Label Consultancy, we are proud to collaborate on AI4Gov, an EU-funded initiative focused on leveraging AI for evidence-based innovations while tackling pressing ethical issues like discrimination and biases in democratic societies. In our efforts to raise awareness on this topic, we launched a blog series focusing on the regulatory and ethical dimensions of AI. Part one of our analysis delved into the evolution of AI regulation within the EU and its alignment with fundamental rights (available on our website, here: https://lnkd.in/dtNGVTQ9). Part two shifted the focus from the EU to examine how AI is regulated in the U.S., UAE, and China, exploring how they balance technological progress with legal obligations (available on our website here: https://lnkd.in/dHX38eUh). In this third session, we delve deeper into the critical issue of biases embedded in AI algorithms. We explore the distinction between key terms, such as bias and discrimination, and their implications for inequitable outcomes among vulnerable groups. Drawing on this understanding, we navigate the complex issue of algorithmic discrimination and examine the potential impact of human oversight, both beneficial and detrimental. Additionally, we pave the way for our next and final session, where we will discuss concrete ways to promote and assess fairness, inclusivity, and gender equality in artificial intelligence. Make sure to check out our analysis and stay tuned for the upcoming sessions as we continue to explore this topic! #artificialintelligence #technology #innovation #eu #privacy  

Interesting! Choose wisely if you choose to use AI.

I'm excited to be interviewing Malone Mukwende as part of the Gender Bias in AI research work being carried out with Health Innovation Kent Surrey Sussex. It's true that gender bias in AI isn't the same for everyone and research has found that AI often makes more mistakes when diagnosing conditions in darker skins, especially for women. This not only makes AI less reliable but also worsens discrimination against black and brown people, perpetuating existing inequalities. I'm looking forward to exploring with Malone. Stay tune for insights from this interview. #GenderBias #EqualityDiversityInclusion #ArtificialIntelligence #Intersectionality #GenderEquality

Bias in AI - what is the consequence, why does it happen, and how should you address it? We have taken a closer look at this as part of our involvement in the EU-funded AI4Gov project. Below is an easy-to-access overview of the conclusions.

I thoroughly enjoyed the interactive webinar, "Use of AI for Gender, Facilitation and Evaluation" hosted by Ann-Murray Brown 🇯🇲🇳🇱. We used a hypothetical data set in breakout groups to test how AI can support data synthesis and accuracy in both quantitative and qualitative research. #gender #research #analysis #qualitativeresearch #quantitativeresearch #AI #remote ✍

Ensuring AI fairness is also a topic of cybersecurity. Fairness is a critical aspect of robustness. A corresponding lack might be exploited by attackers. Therefore, AI fairness should be subject to cybersecurity risk assessments. Do you support this statement?

🔊 Representation In AI Development Matters! ▶ It’s essential to acknowledge the potentially significant ethical challenges linked to AI, especially when the goal is to promote diversity and inclusion. 💬 I see many leaders & executives actively seeking to level up their understanding of how to leverage AI in their business operations, and boost their workforce professional performance. However, an important question in my view that leaders & executives need to start actively asking & acting on is: 💡'How can we ensure that diversity & inclusion is at the heart of this shared pursuit?' 💬 Let's discuss: Do you agree, or Otherwise?
