The participants in this meeting highlighted the opportunities that new technologies now offer on the economic, social and cultural levels, while still focusing on the challenges posed by the digital revolution in terms of ethics, respect for human rights and integration of the gender approach.
Speaking at the meeting, Gabriela Ramos, UNESCO Assistant Director-General for Social and Human Sciences, stressed the importance of integrating the ethical dimension into any approach to new technologies, especially AI, noting that the goal is to enable all countries across the globe to share their history and civilization.
Furthermore, Ms. Ramos clarified that women are not sufficiently represented in the teams responsible for developing technologies such as ChatGPT, adding that it is now essential to respect ethics in the use of new technologies such as AI and to promote investments in this area to develop effective strategies and solutions.
For his part, Yassine Zaghloul, President of Mohammed I University of Oujda, stressed that respect for human rights is “a requirement” in the context of the changes that the world is experiencing in different areas related to AI, affirming that several national and international reports demonstrate that in the near future, new professions will emerge, while others will disappear.
The President of the Mohammed I University of Oujda also assured that the university plays “a fundamental role in the formation of human capital”, highlighting the efforts made by the supervisory ministry to best respond to these challenges.
As part of its participation in SIEL 2024, the CNDH stand offers its visitors a journey to discover a range of works on human rights, an interaction with national and foreign experts around themes inspired by memory, history and women’s writings on reparations for harm.
