Add to Preferred SourcesSteering AI and Advanced ICTs for Knowledge Societies: a ROAM perspective is the title of the new publication launched by UNESCO at the 2019 Internet Governance Forum.
The report recognizes artificial intelligence (AI) as an opportunity to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), through its contribution to building inclusive knowledge societies.
Released at the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) held in Berlin, it is the 12th edition of the UNESCO Series on Internet Freedom.
“This study frames its assessment of AI through on UNESCO’s Internet Universality ROAM framework agreed by our Member States in 2015. It, therefore, covers how AI and advanced ICTs will impact Human Rights, Openness and Access, and how a Multi-stakeholder approach underpins work to address both the challenges and opportunities.”
It is a unique multidisciplinary research as it tackles a broad spectrum of issues related to AI development: freedom of expression, access to information, privacy, journalism and media development, right to equality and public participation, media and information literacy, open data, AI divide within and among countries, multistakeholder AI governance model as well as gender equality and empowering Africa.
Experts and panelists commended the UNESCO report as an important and cutting edge contribution to formulating AI norms, standards and policies and shared their views on the future of AI and advanced ICTs.
