Background
Throughout 2024, Equinet is set to further enhance members’ expertise and foster connections with external stakeholders on the topic of Artificial Intelligence and equality. This will revolve around exploring the influence of diverse digital automation methods, notably AI systems, on the realms of equality and non-discrimination, as well as examining the pivotal role played by Equality Bodies. In particular, Equinet will focus on the impact of Artificial Intelligence on gender equality and discrimination based on the ground of gender.
Objective
These two webinars are aimed at strengthening the capacity of Equality Bodies to monitor and address the impact of AI systems on gender equality.
