Project 24: Women for Ethical AI Network (Women4EthicalAI)

The Women for Ethical AI platform (Women4EthicalAI) leverages the knowledge, contribution
and networks of leading Artificial Intelligence (AI) experts to advance gender equality in the
AI agenda. This new multi-stakeholder collaborative platform supports governments and
companies’ efforts to ensure that women are represented equally in the design, use and
deployment of AI, and to promote trustworthy, gender-friendly and inclusive AI systems.
Women4Ethical AI’s experts further contribute to advance all the other policy chapters and to
implement the provisions contained in the UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial
Intelligence, from education and research, to economy and labour, and the environment and
ecosystems.
