SUMMARY:The African AI & Equality Toolbox Webinar 4: Model Selection
DESCRIPTION:Imported or generalized models often underperform—especially when they are trained on data that does not reflect local language\, environment\, or lived experience. For AI to be trustworthy\, accuracy alone is not enough. \nThis webinar dives into what inclusion and efficiency means ensuring the development or building of systems that don’t require technical expertise to interpret—ensuring that trust\, oversight\, and agency are accessible to all users. Whether a rural health worker\, a student\, or a community organizer\, each person should be able to understand what a system is doing and why. \nThe African AI & Equality Toolbox is a strategic initiative designed to empower African stakeholders—policymakers\, technologists\, civil society actors\, and communities—to shape Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems that are contextually relevant\, inclusive\, and grounded in human rights. \nDeveloped by Women at the Table and the African Centre for Technology Studies (ACTS)\, and adapted from the global AI & Equality Human Rights Toolbox Initiative in collaboration with the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR)\, this African iteration provides practical tools and methodologies to guide equitable AI development across the continent. \nThe Toolbox applies a Human Rights-based AI Lifecycle Framework\, integrating reflective questions and the Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA) developed with the Alan Turing Institute. It emphasizes participatory\, multidisciplinary approaches and is rooted in feminist\, decolonial\, and Justice\, Equity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion (JEDI) principles and incorporates lessons from emerging digital rights challenges\, ensuring AI systems are designed with safety and dignity at their core. \n1PM GMT | 3PM SAST | 4PM EAT \nRegister here
