Artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping gender relations, creating new challenges and opportunities for women. For their personal development and professional growth to be fully integrated, more women need to participate in the design, implementation, evaluation and debate on ethics and norms of the next generation of machine learning and AI-powered technologies. Only the meaningful inclusion of women at all stages will result in policies and technologies that make digital equality a reality. The AI world
is almost entirely dominated by men. We need them to be allies and proactively act to make AI better for all.

Democracy’s significance in the realm of AI development cannot be overstated. In an era marked by the rapid evolution of technology, AI stands as a transformative force with the potential to reshape societies, economies, and daily lives. As AI’s influence expands, it becomes increasingly essential to integrate democratic principles into its development.
The rapid developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the intensification in the adoption of AI in domains such as autonomous vehicles, lethal weapon systems, robotics and alike pose serious challenges to governments as they must manage the scale and speed of socio-technical transitions occurring. While there is considerable literature emerging on various aspects of AI, governance of AI is a significantly underdeveloped area. The new applications of AI offer opportunities for increasing economic efficiency and quality of life, but they also generate unexpected and unintended consequences and pose new forms of risks that need to be addressed. To enhance the benefits from AI while minimising the adverse risks, governments worldwide need to understand better the scope and depth of the risks posed and develop regulatory and governance processes and structures to address these challenges. This introductory article unpacks AI and describes why the Governance of AI should be gaining far more attention given the myriad of challenges it presents. It then summarises the special issue articles and highlights their key contributions. This special issue introduces the multifaceted challenges of governance of AI, including emerging governance approaches to AI, policy capacity building, exploring legal and regulatory challenges of AI and Robotics, and outstanding issues and gaps that need attention. The special issue showcases the state-of-the-art in the governance of AI, aiming to enable researchers and practitioners to appreciate the challenges and complexities of AI governance and highlight future avenues for exploration.
Regulating Generative AI: A Pathway to Ethical and Responsible ImplementationIJCI JOURNAL
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more and more prevalent in our daily lives, and its potential applications are practically limitless. However, as with any technology, there are concerns about how AI could be misused or abused. One of the most serious concerns is the potential for discrimination, particularly against women or minorities, when AI systems are used for tasks like job hiring. Additionally, there are concerns about privacy and security, as AI could be used to monitor people's movements or launch cyberattacks. To address these concerns, regulations must be developed to ensure that AI is developed and used ethically and responsibly. These regulations should address issues like safety, privacy, security, and discrimination. Finally, it is important to educate the public about AI and how to use it safely and responsibly. In this paper, I will examine the AI regulations and challenges that exist today, particularly in the United States. Two regulations I will focus on are the AI in Government Act of 2020 and the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020. Additionally, I will examine two Executive Orders that have addressed the issue of AI in the federal government. Finally, I will conclude with some policy considerations and recommendations for federal agencies.

The AI Revolution – Are Tech Titans Racing to the Bottom.pdfAnshulsharma874284
In the midst of the AI revolution, a profound and pressing question emerges: Are the tech titans of our age engaged in a race to the bottom? As artificial intelligence continues its relentless march into our lives, transforming industries, and reshaping the very fabric of society, it’s imperative that we pause to consider the ethical implications of this unceasing advancement.
The world’s largest technology companies, the likes of Google, Amazon, Facebook, and others, undeniably wield colossal influence over the development and deployment of AI technologies. Their innovation and progress have brought us astonishing breakthroughs, from voice-activated virtual assistants to self-driving cars. Yet, this extraordinary power also raises ethical concerns, as the rapid pace of AI development may inadvertently compromise the ethical standards that should underpin such trans formative technology.
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to a constellation of technologies, including machine learning, perception, reasoning, and natural language processing. While the field has been pursuing principles and applications for over 65 years, recent advances, uses, and attendant public excitement have returned it to the spotlight. The impact of early AI 1 systems is already being felt, bringing with it challenges and opportunities, and laying the foundation on which future advances in AI will be integrated into social and economic domains. The potential wide-ranging impact make it necessary to look carefully at the ways in which these technologies are being applied now, whom they’re benefiting, and how they’re structuring our social, economic, and interpersonal lives.

US groups emerge as the driving force behind the increasing internationalisation of the European television sector. The following report looks at this particular development through three different angles. The first focuses on the concentration and fragmentation tendencies in the various European national audience markets, identifying the contraction of audience shares among top players and an audiovisual market characterised by a large number of TV channels with relatively small market shares. The second angle looks at the market power of non-domestic TV channels in national markets, noting the extent to which foreign groups exert considerable market power in a majority of European countries. The third angle highlights the growing footprint of US groups in the European audiovisual sector by tracking the broadcasting activities of the major groups and comparing their European audience market shares across the various markets.
The world is poised on the brink of the 5G revolution. We're already seeing early commercial launches in leading mobile regions. While the majority of operators in mature markets are planning to upgrade in the next couple of years, 5G is likely to take several years to reach the average consumer, due to spectrum availability and the sheer time and costs involved in rolling out the next generation of mobile networks.
As market after market switches on 5G, we are at a truly momentous point in time. No previous generation of mobile technology has had the potential to drive economic growth to the extent that 5G promises. It goes beyond connecting people to fully realizing the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Abstract
+ Artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping gender relations, creating new challenges and
opportunities for women. For their personal development and professional growth to be
fully integrated, more women need to participate in the design, implementation, evaluation
and debate on ethics and norms of the next generation of machine learning and
AI-powered technologies. Only the meaningful inclusion of women at all stages will
result in policies and technologies that make digital equality a reality. The AI world
is almost entirely dominated by men. We need them to be allies and proactively act
to make AI better for all.
CHALLENGE
The challenges of artificial intelligence (hereinafter, AI) related to gender are multi-layered.
+ The first layer is its design. Women need to have an active role in shaping the next generation
of technologies, so stereotypes are not reproduced and diversity is considered.
+ The second layer is related to the deployment of such technologies and the direct social economic
and political impact AI will have to reduce or exacerbate gender equality.
+ The third layer relates to collateral effects of the digitisation strategies on the future of
work and advancement opportunities for women.
Machine learning and AI systems offer opportunities options to fix the bias and build more gender inclusive
societies. Countries lacking key quality data will be unable to make evidence-based policies and, in turn,
will fail to adopt measures not only to mitigate potentially harmful effects, but also to enhance and take
advantage of these corrective opportunities.

PROPOSAL 1
Countries need to take proactive steps towards the inclusion of women
in the coding and the design of machine learning and AI technologies
The low involvement and marginal inclusion of women in the coding and design of AI and machine learning
technologies is leading to a variety of problems, including the replication of stereotypes, such as the submis-
sive role of voice-powered virtual assistants, overwhelmingly represented by women. As experts Saran and
Mishra point out, AI is replicating the same conceptions of gender roles that are being removed from the real
world.
WE RECOMMEND THAT:
+ G20 governments, in close collaboration with the Education Ministries, Universities and the private sector,
take proactive steps towards the inclusion of more women in the workforce that design AI systems.
+ G20 governments require companies to proactively disclose the gender balance of their design teams.
+ G20 governments require recipients of research grants to disclose the gender balance of the applying
research teams.
+ G20 governments engage in better, more inclusive data collection processes that focus not only on quantity
but also on the quality of datasets, which are not being collected at the expense of marginalised groups (e.g.
sometimes data deserts are better off as data deserts -- data collected by governments could end up being
used against marginalised groups)
+ G20 government’s engaged in policy making around AI should ensure that these decision-making spaces
are adequately gender balanced and/or these groups are aware of the reasons behind the significant
gender inequalities facing the sector.
+ G20 governments should collaborate with industry and other partners to fund women-owned technology
firms working in AI, and to incentivize other firms to have more diverse staff at all levels.
4. PROPOSAL 2
States need to implement industry guidelines to protect women from
discriminatory algorithms and embrace openness and transparency for AI
AI systems are only as good as the data they rely on during the training phase. Structural inequality
(including gender inequality) means that the world is full of biased datasets that reinforce such inequality.
Building AI on these biased datasets encourages the systems to learn the values embedded in them,
and further cement the patterns of exclusion and discrimination, including racial discrimination currently
present in the world. The closed nature of AI systems impedes its comprehensive audit.
From recruitment systems, powered by machine learning, that might exclude the profile of women who
the system predicts will become mothers soon, to systems that will advertise jobs with a lower payment
to women , AI poses unprecedented threats to the progress towards gender equality if no corrective
measures are adopted. A study from the University of Washington showed how machine learning amplified
gender bias by associating, for example, women with kitchen appliances.
How can society fight misogyny, sexism and discrimination if the systems are fed with sexist data, and
their algorithms are impossible to audit? Proactive steps can lead to the reduction of gender gaps
assisted by machine learning and AI, for instance embracing algorithm affirmative actions that will
ensure that the barriers that generally exclude women are removed from recruitment systems. Governments
need to start auditing the systems to verify that women are not deliberately excluded from jobs or other
opportunities for reasons related to their age, marital status, or motherhood plans.
WE RECOMMEND:
+ G20 countries to embrace regulation promoting transparency in machine learning and AI-powered
systems that can meaningfully affect people’s lives. This should include reliance on open data and open AI
whenever government relies on these technologies for service provision. These requirements can be included in
government procurement guidelines for AI systems that support the delivery of public services.
+ G20 countries to actively produce needed government open gender disaggregated datasets, so the
machine learning systems can improve their performance. Open data can help us to better understand
sources of bias in AI systems.
+ G20 countries explore the adoption of algorithmic equitable actions to correct real life biases and barriers
that prevent women from achieving full participation and equal enjoyment of rights.

PROPOSAL 3
Countries must assess the economic, political and social effects of AI and
machine learning technologies on the lives of women
The impact of AI and machine learning technologies is still uncertain. Yet, if its potential for social benefit is
to be harnessed, solutions need to be designed to actively reduce gender inequality and increase the
opportunities for women and girls.
There is a lack of research in G20 economies on the impact of AI and machine learning on precarious
jobs, especially those of women. The interim measures regarding AI enhanced technologies to avoid
severe disruptions in the economy and the societal effects on women are yet to be determined, and
they will vary from country to country.
Better data and more debate is urgently needed to understand the potential disruptions for the economy in
general and women in particular if protections are to be set into motion.
WE THEREFORE RECOMMEND THAT:
+ G20 countries carry out country level assessments to understand the economic, social and political
impacts of algorithmic decisions and AI on women.
+ G20 countries create a common research fund to explore the impacts of AI and machine learning on
women and women.
