Artificial Intelligence – it’s the buzzword of our times. A disruptive technology, indeed, that will have a deep impact on our lives. The proponents praise the opportunities for a better life for all; critics see great perils for democracy, with surveillance and algorithms taking over humankind. Women, especially those active in the public realm, are affected even more by the use of AI – deep fakes being just one example.
There clearly is a need to strengthen international governance of AI. The European Union wants to be ahead of the curve by adopting the world’s first comprehensive AI law which would regulate the use of AI.
AI and the future of democracy, but also the profound consequences of this technology will be the topic of this year’s side event hosted by Atlantik-Brücke’s Female Network on the eve of the Munich Security Conference. Please save the date and join the conversation with renowned speakers. More information will follow shortly.
