Description
In an era where AI-generated content shapes public perception and discourse, female journalists and parliamentarians face unique challenges from biased AI-generated information. From misrepresentation to the spread of gendered disinformation, these biases can undermine credibility, influence public trust, and contribute to online harassment. A resilient and trustworthy Internet requires proactive measures to prevent and detect such biases, ensuring that AI technologies support rather than harm democratic engagement and press freedom.
This session will examine the root causes of AI bias affecting female leaders in journalism and politics, exploring strategies for mitigating misinformation, disinformation, and gendered narratives. Experts in AI ethics, media integrity, and policymaking will share insights on data diversity, algorithmic fairness, and regulatory frameworks to foster equitable digital environments.
