[IGF-DAIG] Draft Call for Papers

[Luca Belli]

Dear all,
I hope you are doing well!
I am writing to share the idea of a Call for Papers to prepare a brief report that we could present at the upcoming IGF.
I have discussed this possibility with some list members offline and most seemed very receptive.
I am pasting the draft CfP below and also on this pad in case you want to provide your feedback on the text https://pad.codigosur.org/DRAFT_CfP_IGF_DAIG_2023
As this draft CfP is quite concise and the IGF will take place in only 3 months, I would suggest that anyone interested in providing feedback does so until next Friday 21st July
All the best
Luca



IGF Coalition on Data and Artificial Intelligence Governance


DRAFT Call for Papers on
AI Transparency and Accountability


Background:
The IGF Coalition on Data and Artificial Intelligence Governance<https://intgovforum.org/en/content/dynamic-coalition-on-data-and-artificial-intelligence-governance-dc-daig> (DAIG) is a multistakeholder group established under the auspices of the United Nations Internet Governance forum (IGF). The Coalition aims at fostering discussion of existing approaches to data and AI governance, promoting analysis of good and bad practices to identify what solutions should be replicated and which ones should be avoided by stakeholders to achieve a sustainable an effective data and AI governance.

To do so the DAIG Coalition aims at promoting collective studies and multistakeholder interactions to collect and discuss evidence, critically analyse existing regulatory and institutional arrangements, and propose policy updates.  Importantly, the DAIG will act as a hub to connect global UN IGF discussions with regional and local initiatives, with a particular focus on Global South debates.
This first annual report of the Coalition aims at fostering reflections on AI transparency and accountability with a particular focus on experiences of Global South countries, to provide valuable contributions that could feed into IGF 2023 discussions.
