AI challenges and opportunities for policymakers: How to reconcile algorithms and inclusive policies

Artificial intelligence holds great promise but is also known to reproduce and amplify human biases, threatening to tear down the social fabric. The adoption of appropriate regulations and policies often lags behind the accelerating rhythm of innovation and developing competencies. In this regard, the role of researchers and experts in particular, and civil society in general, is crucial in raising awareness and fostering safe, inclusive, and effective AI-enabled solutions. This session will discuss good practices to address this gap and maximize the benefits of algorithms designed to respond to social problems.
