UNIDIR highlights role of women in AI governance and international security
Diverse perspectives are seen as critical to AI governance.
The United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research highlights the role of women in shaping the digital future, particularly in AI and international security. The organisation stresses the importance of increasing female participation in decision-making.
According to the research Institute, women remain underrepresented in AI and related policy spaces, including diplomacy and security forums. This imbalance risks limiting perspectives in global technology governance.
The organisation’s Women in AI Fellowship programme aims to address this gap by providing training and expertise to women diplomats. Participants gain knowledge across technical, legal and policy aspects of AI.
The research Institute positions inclusion as essential to effective AI governance and security policy, emphasising the need for diverse voices in shaping digital futures globally.
