Artificial Intelligence, Immersive Technology and Diversity: How can we co-create an inclusive digital future?
19 September, 09:00 to 18:00, County Hall, Belvedere Rd, London SE1 7PB
About the session: New technologies developed in Silicon Valley often don’t consider the perspective of citizens in the global south. As we move into the next phase of innovation, it is necessary that the global south ensures there is consideration of use cases relevant to their citizens.
How can we ensure citizens in the global south have a voice in determining how new technologies are adopted and utilised, and to what extent will these technologies be relevant to them? Can we reverse the trend where next-generation technologies such as generative AI, virtual reality, and augmented reality, have high barriers to entry for the least connected, exacerbating the digital divide? How can we ensure that countries of the global south become not only active participants in the digital future but also have a say in setting the rules for emerging technologies and guide their evolution?
