La Independiente: Gender perspectives in AI crowd work
2023-07-26 10:00 - 2023-07-27 13:00, 2023-07-27 10:00 - 13:00 UTC
In order to function, algorithms require millions of labeled training data to learn, recognize and categorize information. This labeling is often done by crowd workers who are neglected in system designs and whose well being is seldom considered. Latin American and Caribbean workers have been identified as significant crowd work contributors depending on crowd work as a steady source of income. However most studies on crowd work center around Western women and fail to take into account the personal and professional advancement of Latin American women.
PIT Policy are holding a forum on feminist design with crowdworkers, platforms and experts discussing what needs to change and what can be done to improve the quality of experience for AI crowd workers in LAC and throughout the globe.
Crowd Work Platform Forum: Policy Perspectives Forum

Day One Wednesday 26th, July 2023, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm Mexico City time

Responsible AI: Empowering Women's Access to Justice in the Southeast Asia Region"
2024-03-20 19:00 - 20:30 UTC
Responsible AI: Empowering Women’s Access to Justice in the Southeast Asia Region”
Speaker: Siraprapa Chavanayarn
This talk delves into the complex challenges women in Southeast Asia face in their quest for access to justice. These challenges include societal barriers and individual barriers. The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents transformative opportunities for the justice system, especially in improving access to justice and ensuring fairness for women. AI has the potential to revolutionize legal proceedings by analyzing complex data, streamlining case processing, and providing predictive insights. However, integrating AI into the justice system also brings significant risks. Concerns such as algorithmic bias could exacerbate existing inequalities, impeding equitable access to justice. The central argument of this talk is the critical need for Responsible AI in the development and application of AI technologies in these regions. Responsible AI is essential for maintaining fairness, transparency, and accountability, particularly in AI applications within the justice sector. This approach is crucial to ensure that AI tools not only enhance access to justice for women but also uphold and support their rights.
