This toolkit, created through the DIVERSIFAIR Erasmus+ project, aims to provide policymakers with the knowledge and tools to include intersectionality in AI policies. By focusing on fairness and inclusivity, policymakers can create AI systems that promote equality rather than worsen current inequalities.
The primary objectives of this kit are to:
- Raise awareness about intersectional bias in AI and its societal consequences.
- Provide actionable strategies to help policymakers integrate intersectional principles into existing and future AI policies.
- Bridge knowledge gaps by offering a multidisciplinary perspective informed by technical, ethical, and social insights.
The development of this kit was informed by interviews and focus groups with members of the AI community and policy sectors, ensuring its recommendations are grounded in real-world challenges and needs. While this version is tailored for policy, additional kits targeting the industry and civil society have also been developed under the DIVERSIFAIR project.
