🎙️ AIGN Podcast – Gender Equality in AI: A Deep Dive into the UNESCO Study

How does artificial intelligence impact gender equality? In this episode of the AIGN – Artificial Intelligence Governance Network podcast, we explore the UNESCO study "Outlook on Artificial Intelligence and Gender", developed for the W4EAI Conference 2024.

📌 Key topics in this episode:
✅ The underrepresentation of women in AI development, leadership, and education
✅ Gender-specific risks and inequalities created by AI systems
✅ Policy efforts to promote gender-equitable AI
✅ Actionable recommendations based on UNESCO’s AI ethics guidelines
✅ Feminist and transformative approaches to building inclusive AI ecosystems
✅ The role of impact assessments and audits in ensuring fairness

This study highlights that gender-equitable AI is not only an ethical necessity but also a driver of innovation. What steps are needed to integrate gender equality throughout the AI lifecycle? Which regulatory and ethical frameworks can support this transformation?

🎙️ AIGN Podcast – AI Governance in Focus

In this episode, we analyze the latest report from the Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) on AI governance at the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). The report assesses how effective the ATO's AI implementation measures are—from governance and development to deployment and monitoring.

🔍 What to expect:

• A deep dive into the ATO’s AI governance framework
• Insights into strengths and weaknesses of current AI measures
• Key recommendations to improve transparency, ethics, and risk management
• Lessons for other government agencies in Australia and beyond

🚀 Why does this matter?
Effective AI governance is crucial for responsible AI adoption in government institutions. Poor oversight can lead to risks and lack of transparency, while strong governance fosters trust and innovation.
