Description of the Session

This session will focus on the rapidly evolving landscape of data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) governance, fostering the inclusion of global majority perspectives. Acknowledging that data and AI governance must encompass a heterogeneous spectrum of viewpoints and experiences, this session will offer a platform for representatives of stakeholder groups to share their insights, concerns, and proposed strategies.

>From gender to ethnicity, nationality to socioeconomic status, this session strives to amplify the voices often underrepresented in discussions of data and AI governance. Participants will foster a holistic approach to AI governance, exploring a variety of issues which are particularly relevant for the inclusion of global majority perspectives, such as Equitable Development and Access, Data Privacy and Security, Transparency and Accountability, Regulatory Frameworks, and Cultural Implications.

The following questions will be used to guide the debate:

  1.  How can AI governance frameworks ensure equitable access to and promote development of AI technologies for the global majority?
  2.  How can data privacy and security be effectively safeguarded, including by fostering collective protection of rights as regards personal data processing by AI system?.
  3.  What regulatory strategies can promote and ensure meaningful transparency in AI decision-making processes and holding stakeholders accountable for their actions?
  4.  What regulatory frameworks and enforcement mechanisms can be used as examples and inspire policymaking processes in the majority world?
  5.  What strategies could be used and what good practices exits to foster the inclusion and understanding of cultural sensitivities and promote diversity and respectful engagement with global majority communities, in the development and implementation of AI technologies and AI governance processes?

Additional Aspects

Session Interaction and Participation in a Hybrid Meeting

The 2024 IGF will be a hybrid event, meaning that people should be able to participate fully, whether onsite or online. The IGF Secretariat and the Host Country will provide the technical tools to support this. It is vital that workshop organizers are aware of this, and that providing for hybrid accessibility and interactive engagement is central to all session planning. Organizers should make every effort to ensure that any session speakers or organizers that will be participating online have sufficient connectivity to participate in a hybrid session.

Please respond to the following questions in this field:

1) How will you facilitate interaction between onsite and online speakers and attendees?

To facilitate interaction between onsite and online speakers and attendees, we will leverage a hybrid event platform that provides real-time communication channels. For the onsite attendees, we will project the virtual attendees and their questions/comments onto the screen to ensure that both groups can engage with each other. Additionally, we will use a moderated chat on Zoom for online participants to interact with onsite speakers and vice versa.

2) How will you design the session to ensure the best possible experience for online and onsite participants?

The session will be designed with both online and onsite participants in mind. The session will be structured with interactive segments to engage all attendees, such as Q&As and debates to cater both online and onsite participants.

3) Please note any complementary online tools/platforms you plan to use to increase participation and interaction during the session.

To increase participation and interaction, we plan to use an online document to allow participants to contribute their thoughts in a shared digital space. We will also utilize social media platforms for pre-session and post-session engagement, such as Twitter/X for live updates.
