4. Quality Education
8. Decent Work and Economic Growth
10. Reduced Inequalities
16. Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
Targets: proposal on leveraging AI for digital governance directly connects with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set forth by the United Nations. Here's how:
SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
Target 16.10: Ensure public access to information and protect fundamental freedoms, in accordance with national legislation and international agreements.
AI-powered governance can strengthen online content moderation, tackling hate speech and misinformation that undermine peace and social cohesion.
SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities
Target 10.2: Empower and promote the social, economic, and political inclusion of all, irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status.
AI can be used to analyze online platforms and identify potential biases within algorithms or content moderation practices, promoting fairer treatment for all users.
SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals
Target 17.17: Encourage and promote effective public, public-private and civil society partnerships, building on the experience and resourcing strategies of partnerships.
The proposal highlights the multistakeholder approach to digital governance, fostering collaboration between governments, civil society, and the tech sector to develop responsible AI solutions.
Additionally:
SDG 4: Quality Education - AI can personalize online learning and bridge the digital divide.
SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth - Responsible AI governance fosters trust in the digital economy and promotes innovation.
In person
The internet, with its ever-expanding influence on communication, commerce, and social interaction, demands a robust and adaptable governance framework. However, the current multistakeholder model struggles to keep pace with the rapid evolution of the online landscape, particularly the challenges of:
Balancing diverse stakeholder priorities
Enforcing established norms and principles
Addressing novel governance issues arising from new technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT).
This talk explores the potential of integrating AI into the digital governance framework. We will delve into how AI-powered solutions can:
Facilitate consensus building by analyzing stakeholder positions and identifying common ground.
Enhance enforcement by monitoring online activity and flagging potential violations.
Proactively identify emerging governance issues related to AI and IoT through data analysis and risk prediction.
The discussion will explore the ethical considerations and potential pitfalls of utilizing AI in governance. Ultimately, the talk will propose a future vision for digital governance that leverages the power of AI to ensure a safe, inclusive, and responsible online environment.
Facilitating Interaction in a Hybrid Talk:
1. Interactive Platform:
I'll be leveraging a robust hybrid event platform that seamlessly integrates live Q&A. Imagine this: an on-stage moderator acts as a bridge between the audiences. Online attendees can submit questions directly through the platform, while the moderator can also take questions raised by those physically present. The platform will display all questions in a unified stream, ensuring no voice goes unheard.
2. Polling and Live Feedback:
Let's get everyone involved! Before the presentation even starts, I'll launch a quick poll using the platform to gauge the audience's existing knowledge on the topic. Throughout the talk, I'll sprinkle in real-time polls to keep everyone engaged. Imagine live charts and graphs dynamically updating as online and onsite attendees participate. This not only keeps things interesting but also allows me to tailor the discussion based on the audience's understanding. Afterward, we can wrap up with a concluding poll to gather valuable feedback on the session.
3. Backchannel Communication:
To foster a sense of community and real-time exchange, I'll encourage everyone to utilize a dedicated chat channel within the platform. This allows online attendees to discuss the presentation live, ask clarifying questions amongst themselves, and share insights. Onsite attendees can be prompted to join the conversation as well, creating a truly interactive space.
4. Breakout Rooms (Optional):
If time permits, I'd love to incorporate breakout room sessions! These smaller, focused discussions can be mixed groups with both online and onsite attendees. Imagine a virtual room where everyone, regardless of location, can delve deeper into specific aspects of the topic, fostering a richer exchange of knowledge and interaction.
Designing the Session for Optimal Experience:
Presentation Design: Forget blurry visuals! My presentation will be meticulously designed with clear, high-resolution elements that are easily readable from both a physical screen and a virtual platform. Everyone deserves a crystal-clear experience.
Engaging Delivery: Lectures are out, conversation is in! I'll maintain a conversational tone throughout the presentation, peppering it with storytelling elements to keep both online and onsite audiences engaged. Think of it as a dynamic discussion, not a one-way lecture.
Active Participation: No one gets left behind! I'll be posing questions directly to the online audience throughout the presentation, encouraging them to participate verbally or through the chat. This ensures everyone feels involved and their voices are heard.
Recording Availability: Life happens, and sometimes you can't attend live. No worries! I'll have the entire session recorded and made available to all attendees after the event. This allows those who couldn't attend live or want to revisit the content at their own pace to benefit from the discussion.
Complementary Online Tools:
Social Media Integration: Let's take the conversation beyond the platform! I'll encourage the use of a designated event hashtag on social media platforms like Twitter. This allows online and onsite attendees to share their thoughts, spark discussions, and participate in a broader conversation surrounding the topic. Imagine a live feed of insights and perspectives!
Live Captioning: Inclusion matters! To ensure accessibility for attendees with hearing impairments, both online and onsite, I'll be utilizing live captioning services. This way, everyone can follow the discussion in real-time.
Collaborative Pad: Want to brainstorm together? I might utilize a collaborative online document or whiteboard tool. Imagine a virtual space where both online and onsite attendees can contribute ideas and brainstorm in real-time. This fosters a sense of shared creativity and problem-solving.
By implementing these strategies, I aim to create a dynamic and inclusive session that dismantles the physical barrier between online and onsite attendees. We'll foster interaction, a sense of shared experience, and ensure everyone gets the most out of this exciting discussion on digital governance!
