Artificial Intelligence and Gender Equality: Key Findings of UNESCO’s Global Dialogue Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO The purpose of the UNESCO’s Dialogue on Gender Equality and AI was to identify issues, challenges, and good practices to help: Overcome the built-in gender biases found in AI devices, data sets and algorithms; Improve the global representation of women in technical roles and in boardrooms in the technology sector; and Create robust and gender-inclusive AI principles, guidelines and codes of ethics within the industry. This Summary Report sets forth proposed elements of a Framework on Gender Equality and AI for further consideration, discussion and elaboration amongst various stakeholders. It reflects experts’ inputs to the UNESCO Dialogue on Gender Equality and AI, as well as additional research and analysis. This is not a comprehensive exploration of the complexities of the AI ecosystem in all its manifestations and all its intersections with gender equality. Rather, this is a starting point for conversation and action and has a particular focus on the private sector. It argues for the need to 1. Establish a whole society view and mapping of the broader goals we seek to achieve in terms of gender equality;2. Generate an understanding of AI Ethics Principles and how to position gender equality within them; 3. Reflect on possible approaches for operationalizing AI and Gender Equality Principles; and4. Identify and develop a funded multi-stakeholder action plan and coalition as a critical next step. 
UNESCO Women for Ethical AI: Outlook Study on Artificial Intelligence and Gender Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: UNESCO The gender chapter of the UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of AI is a concrete commitment by 194 Member States to advance gender equality in the AI ecosystem. To track progress in the implementation of the gender provisions of UNESCO’s Recommendation, and to assess the impacts of AI on gender equality, the UNESCO Women for Ethical AI (W4EAI) Platform has been established. This report advances the workstream through evidence-based insights in three critical areas: women’s participation in AI development and deployment, the inclusion of gender equality concerns in AI governance and the impact of AI on gender equality. It highlights the significant underrepresentation of women in AI, the lack of gender-disaggregated data, and the compounded challenges women face in the field. The report also addresses the neglect of gender dimensions in AI policy, the risks posed by AI systems to women, and the need for responsible and ethical AI governance to promote gender equality. Finally, it outlines actionable recommendations to enhance gender equality through and in AI, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive data collection, targeted interventions, and inclusive policy-making.
