- Relevance:
- Merged Proposal for WS #278 and WS #339: 5G, IoT and AI - Addressing Digital Inclusion and Accessibility
- The Session will explore the potential of 5G, IOT and AI, to address complementary and interlinked goals: Digital inclusion and Accessibility. The Session will discuss the policies that will promote the deployment of 5G, an advanced and efficient technology, in order to contribute to the objectives of the sustainable development goals, in view of the commitment made in General Assembly resolution 70/125 to close the digital divides between and within countries, including the gender digital divide, through efforts to improve connectivity, affordability, access to online services, education, information and knowledge, multilingual content, digital skills and digital literacy.
- The developing world will be directly affected by the deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies and services. There is a growing need for a more diverse perspective regarding the policy issues and consequences of AI. As a follow up of the last Internet Governance Forum session on AI and Inclusion (2017), there is a need to identify, understand, and address new issues, from a more interdisciplinary and global perspective when it comes to the future of labour and transparent and inclusive design of new technologies.
- This Session is related to Connecting and Enabling the Next Billion (CENB) and will offer an opportunity to present 5G, IoT and AI technical features and promises, suggest the possible regulatory issues at stake, propose an economic perspective and address the civil society concerns, in view of the increasing requirements of a digital economy.
- Session Content:
- Merged Proposal for WS #278 and WS #339: 5G, IoT and AI - Addressing Digital Inclusion and Accessibility
- To bring digitalization’s benefits for society and economy, connectivity remains a main concern in the world. With the introduction of new fixed and mobile technologies, such as 5G and the development of an of new IOT based services, this concern will remain. These technologies will need to be progressively introduced in all regions so that the citizens may enjoy the performances and the potentialities they are bringing, in relation to an extended coverage of populations (geographical coverage), and altogether the opportunities offered by IOTs (coverage with services). This topic highlights a key issue for Internet governance and inclusive and sustainable growth: connectivity to ensure access to all and the benefits of a digitalised society and inclusiveness for all the citizens.
- In addition, this roundtable aims to provide a global view on AI and inclusion's debates focused on the geographic divide between the Global North and the Global South when it comes to the future of labour and transparent and inclusive design of new technologies, with representatives of different continents and contexts in a multistakeholder approach.
