🎙️ AIGN Podcast – Gender Equality in AI: A Deep Dive into the UNESCO Study

How does artificial intelligence impact gender equality? In this episode of the AIGN – Artificial Intelligence Governance Network podcast, we explore the UNESCO study "Outlook on Artificial Intelligence and Gender", developed for the W4EAI Conference 2024.

📌 Key topics in this episode:
✅ The underrepresentation of women in AI development, leadership, and education
✅ Gender-specific risks and inequalities created by AI systems
✅ Policy efforts to promote gender-equitable AI
✅ Actionable recommendations based on UNESCO’s AI ethics guidelines
✅ Feminist and transformative approaches to building inclusive AI ecosystems
✅ The role of impact assessments and audits in ensuring fairness

This study highlights that gender-equitable AI is not only an ethical necessity but also a driver of innovation. What steps are needed to integrate gender equality throughout the AI lifecycle? Which regulatory and ethical frameworks can support this transformation?
