argument: Notizie/News - Digital Governance

According to an article from UNESCO, UNESCO is spearheading efforts to advance AI ethics in Bangladesh through its Readiness Assessment Methodology (RAM). This initiative, in collaboration with Bangladesh's ICT Ministry and Aspire to Innovate (a2i), aims to evaluate the country's preparedness for AI implementation, focusing on ethical considerations. RAM assesses various dimensions, including technological infrastructure, legislation, and the economy, combining quantitative and qualitative analyses to identify institutional and regulatory gaps. This assessment will help policymakers make informed decisions to develop an ethical AI ecosystem aligned with global standards. By identifying readiness and gaps, RAM empowers countries to build AI systems that uphold human rights and serve the common good. UNESCO's AI ethics initiatives are part of a broader effort to promote responsible AI use worldwide, ensuring that AI benefits society while preventing harm.
