Media Monitoring Africa, Goethe-Institut and the German Embassy invites you to join their panel discussion “Decolonising the internet: How AI shapes our world”. This discussion seeks to unpack how Artificial Intelligence, Algorithms and Bots shape our views of the world. Tackling questions such as; what does declolonising the internet mean, whose stories are being told and who is telling these stories on the internet with a diverse and robust panel providing international and local expertise, this conversation will provide light on the gaps and solutions to ensure a true reflection of public knowledge.
The access to the internet has incredible potential to deepen democracy and equality, and ensure diverse views and voices can be heard. The reality however is vastly different with a digital divide not just in South Africa but between the North and South. We see the global giants based in North America, with the majority of investments, technology development, programming, machine learning and power residing in the global North. These power dynamics have dramatic implications for every aspect of the Internet, from language to cultural dominance to northern realities informing biases built into the programmes and how they work. Given the digital divide, racial inequalities and lack of representation it is imperative to start interrogating the ‘behind the scenes’ of our online realities.
Join us for a discussion with a panel of experts to help unpack these issues.
Date: 1 July 2021
Time: 18:00pm
