This workshop will take place September in Chișinău, Moldova, date pending confirmation from funding from TAIEX. It is aimed at Equality Bodies from non-EU countries.
Background
Since the start of Equinet’s work on AI, there has been a gradual and steady increase in the number of Equality Bodies starting to engage with this topic. Some of Equinet members have already brought legal cases (concerning both the private and the public sector) related to AI, have contributed to the development of national strategies on AI or have given inputs to national legal reforms. They are also building national partnerships across sectors with relevant national regulators such as national data protection authorities, national financial supervisory authorities, etc.
In 2024 Equinet will continue to build the knowledge of members and engage with external stakeholders on how various forms of digital automation, including AI systems, impact equality and non-discrimination and the role of Equality Bodies.
Objective
This workshop is organized for Equality Bodies from non-EU countries to discuss how the EU legal framework on non-discrimination and relevant EU legislative developments on AI could be used to strengthen protection against AI-enabled discrimination by private and public actors in non-EU countries.
