Gender-Responsive AI Standards: From Rhetoric to Reality

The Network of Women Ministers and Leaders in ICT Leadership Circle Lab is an invitation-only workshop designed to complement the Network of Women Ministers and Leaders in ICT Breakfast. Bringing together women Ministers, regulators, industry leaders, and decision-makers, the session will provide a trusted space for peer exchange on the practical realities of leading digital transformation and shaping the future of AI governance.
