<A+> Alliance is one of eighty selected projects at the 2021 Paris Peace Forum!
Systemic gender, racial and intersectional bias sits at the heart of current Artificial Intelligence (AI) and algorithmic decision-making (ADM) processes. Inclusive AI is designed with inclusion at the core to create new opportunities and correct inequities. Our selected initiative focuses on how new AI/ADM algorithms, models, networks, and systems can have a concrete & positive impact on social problems, improving quality of life and correcting historical exclusion. Prototypes use design justice principles, with the most effective prototypes boasting new public and private sector partnerships to actively innovate and correct historical inequities.

Panel on AI & Gender: A Human Rights Toolbox Approach
In this crucial moment when AI is transforming the fabric of our society — potentially the greatest global paradigm shift yet — it is crystal clear that the design and deployment of Artificial Intelligence must be grounded in human rights. Similarly, gender equality — the very heart of human rights — must be included in Artificial Intelligence design and deployment. How can a human rights based approach be applied to computer science, engineering and innovation?

<A +> Alliance se orgulha de ser reconhecida como uma das Idéias que mudam o mundo da Fast Company em 2020 em IA e dados!
Precisamos ativar novas normas que incluam os outros 50% da população mundial com equidade social e de gênero no núcleo dos algoritmos e sistemas de decisão automatizada que criamos. Isso é ainda mais crítico no que diz respeito os sistemas econômicos e de saúde na crise que estamos atravessando com o COVID-19. Uma democracia saudável depende da equidade social e de gênero, e enquanto os sistemas do futuro estão sendo codificados, estamos trabalhando para corrigir esses códigos.
