The IPAR Think Tank is organising a webinar on Monday 24 April 2023 at 13:00 GMT on the topic \u00ab\u00a0A gender-sensitive approach to research in the development and roll-out of responsible AI in Africa\u00a0<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n

Indeed, IPAR prioritises reflection and research on technology \u2013 in particular Artificial Intelligence \u2013 with a view to empowering women within its thematic framework. Promoting gender equality and inclusion in sub-Saharan Africa through artificial intelligence is a key area for the organisation, and it has launched several initiatives, notably GRAIN (Gender and Responsible Artificial Intelligence Network).<\/p>\n

The upcoming webinar is perfectly aligned with the project\u2019s objectives, which aim to advance inclusion, equality and the empowerment of women in sub-Saharan Africa through the responsible and locally-driven development and roll-out of AI innovations.<\/p>\n

The main aim of the webinar is to reflect on the challenges posed by structural and systemic barriers to promoting gender equality and inclusion in the AI sector in sub-Saharan Africa.<\/p>\n

The virtual event will bring together experts in AI and gender, and will focus on innovative practices and technologies that bridge the gap between AI and gender. It will highlight the importance of harnessing the potential of AI to advance gender equality and reduce gender disparities in the digital sector.<\/p>\n

The discussion will be hosted on the Kudo platform and will be held in English with French interpretation.<\/p>\n

Chaired by Ernest Mwebaze, Executive Director of Sunbird AI, Uganda, the panel will feature the following speakers: Nokuthula Olorunju, Research ICT Africa, South Africa; Dr Adekemi Omutubora, Senior Lecturer at the University of Lagos, Nigeria; Adedeji Adeniran, Director of Research, CSEA Nigeria; Caitlin Kraft-Bruchmann \u2013 CEO and founder of Women at the Table.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
