WSIS+20: Inclusive AI For A Better World, Through Cross-Cultural And Multi-Generational Dialogue
As part of WSIS+20 in Geneva, this event builds off of Globethics' previous initiatives, including the 2023 Workshop on Data Ethics and the 2024 Policy Dialogue Framework on AI Ethics, which resulted in a Policy Report presented at the UNESCO Global Forum on the Ethics of AI. The session will feature speakers from Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Europe, providing diverse cultural and generational perspectives. The session aims to explore how AI can be more inclusive of people, cultures, sciences, and institutions, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and promoting ethical practices. Participants will engage in discussions to exchange insights and contribute to a more equitable AI landscape.
