Shout out to Lina Khan's FTC and the amazing work they have been doing, summarized in this post. This what a functioning regulatory body looks like & what we should continue to hold as expectations even in the face of pressure to normalize anything less. www.ftc.gov/policy/advoc...

AI and the Risk of Consumer Harm

People often talk about “safety” when discussing the risks of AI causing harm. AI safety means different things to different people, and those looking for a definition here will be disappointed.

We can’t talk about the future of tech and digital space without talking about the impact on other issues and rights. Decision makers must take a holistic approach to development to ensure advancement does not come at the cost of human rights, and the climate.

"I'm encouraged by the energy of the #WomensRights movement, and the digital space is no different. If we're going to achieve what we can achieve with the #GDC, if we're going to make the progress we can make, we need to do it together." - Aurra Kawanzaruwa, AfriDigital Zimbabwe #AfIGF

"The same urgency people have when they are demanding their rights to water or food is the urgency we need to see when it comes to people demanding their #DigitalRights". Hallima Nyota. Linda Data Kenya #AfIGF #GDC

"Gender is not properly mainstreamed in the #GDC. We see the word, there is reference to #TFGBV, there is reference to #GenderEquality, and the #DigitalDivide, but its is not embedded throughout the document. And there is a lack of mechanisms to counter #GBV." - Amanda Manyame, Equality Now. #AfIGF

"We can't ignore the issue of #DigitalAccess. How will people understand the digital space, how will they recognise #TFGBV or #misinformation, if they don't have experiece in the space?" - Aurra Kawanzaruwa, AfriDigital Zimbabwe #AfIGF

"If we're going to implement the #GDC and have impact, it's important that stakeholders understand the GDC and the tools that they are working with, and this includes communities." - Aurra Kawanzaruwa, AfriDigital Zimbabwe #AfIGF
