</a><br>
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming every sector and will
have a lasting impact on humanity in times to come. Yet, rapid AI
adoption also raises concerns around ethics, privacy, bias, and
misuse. The absence of a unified global governance framework risks
widening inequalities and exacerbating societal divides. <br>
<br>
Objectives include fostering dialogue on the potential of AI,
Ethical AI governance, Role of Stakeholders, AI and the SDGs – UN
Global Digital Compact (GDC), and capacity building for AI.<br>
<br>
Duration of the webinar: 60 min<br>
<br>
The webinar will address the following:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li> Is the FOMO of AI real?</li>
<li> Challenges of using AI</li>
<li> Role of stakeholders in Global Standards & Open
Access: Creating inclusive, culturally aware AI governance
frameworks.</li>
<li> How can AI contribute to UN’s SDGs & Global Digital
Compact.</li>
<li> Capacity Building: what we need to do in terms of capacity
building to avoid another AI-Digital Divide</li>
</ul>
