Gender Bias in AI Data

Webinar: Addressing Gender Bias in AI Data

Webinar: Addressing Gender Bias in AI Data

The OECD Directorate for Science, Technology and Innovation and the International Transport Forum (ITF) will hold a virtual event on gender bias in artificial intelligence (AI) data.

The event takes place on 29 March 2021, 14:00 – 15:00 (Paris)

Data is the lifeblood of the digital economy and artificial intelligence, so if data processes yield data that are non-representative then the resulting algorithms will almost certainly have biased outcomes. Algorithms that do not take pre-existing gender-based inequalities into account will also be biased.

While AI systems run the risk of perpetuating or even exacerbating gender-based inequalities, AI can also help to identify and correct human bias.

This virtual event will bring together technical and policy experts who will address questions around gender bias in AI, such as:

  • What are the best ways to combat gender bias in AI training data?
  • How can data governance help to overcome challenges related to gender bias in data and other gender-related AI concerns?
  • How can AI help to identify and eliminate gender bias?
  • How can implementing the OECD AI Principles help to address gender bias?

Moderator: Audrey Plonk, Head of Digital Economy Policy Division, Directorate for Science, Technology and Innovation, OECD

Opening remarks by:

Mr. Ulrik Vestergaard Knudsen, Deputy Secretary-General, OECD

Mr. Young Tae Kim, Secretary-General of the International Transport Forum
