🔵 AI can reinforce biases, or it can mitigate them. It's important that security institutions choose the latter.
🔵 Informed oversight is crucial for strengthened, sustainable AI use.
🔵 Bottom-up approaches guided by civil society must be in focus.

We are excited to continue researching and discussing new tools as we look to the future of #genderequality in the security sector. Thanks to DCAF for facilitating these important conversations!

What does peace actually look like?
🔵 Women at the table.
🔵 Women taking up roles in leadership.
🔵 Women whose safety is non-negotiable.
This #LivingTogetherInPeace day, we’re reminded that peace is only as strong as the women who shape it. 🕊️
