The Access to Knowledge for Development Center\n(A2K4D) at the American University in Cairo\, School of Business introduced the f<a+i>r Hubs Network\nand brought together key stakeholders in MENA in an action-oriented conversation on how new\ntechnologies such as AI can be harnessed to address MENA’s most pressing developmental problems\nwith focus on gender inclusion. \n  \nKey issues discussed: \n\n\nDigital and analogue divides are intertwined and can be exacerbated by AI.\n\n\nFeminists need to invest their efforts in proactively creating the future that we want to live in rather than just reacting.\n\n\nAI can play a role in promoting awareness of the way technology can be intertwined with socioeconomic problems and can be utilized for achieving equality and justice.\n\n\nWhat is coming for humanity is impossible to predict\, but it is necessary to try all approaches to ensure the future is fair for women.\n\n\nThere are high level plans on investing in AI for smart cities\, pensions\, healthcare etc. in the region and in Egypt in particular however there are not enough women or youth present at these tables. No one is currently looking at AI with a feminist lens.\n\n\nThere is a huge disconnect between those working in feminist spaces and those working in tech. We need to bring both groups together to share knowledge and have discussions. We also need to include major stakeholders involved in decision and policy making\n\n\nThere is an urgent need to build an open data platform that hosts data sets from the MENA region to produce AI models for the MENA region instead of relying on tech produced by the West.\n\n\nVideo:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g5mNxb2wsY&t=3s URL:https://aplusalliance.org/event/incubating-feminist-ai-mena-fair-hubs-first-network-meeting/ CATEGORIES:Reuniones equipo ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://aplusalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Final-Poster.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
