This year’s theme, “Artificial Intelligence and Women,” aims to address the opportunities and challenges AI presents for gender equality. The summit will bring together experts, academics and policymakers from around the world to discuss how technology can help build a fairer and safer future for women.

The summit will kick off with an opening speech by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, followed by remarks from Sümeyye Erdoğan Bayraktar, the chairperson of KADEM Board of Trustees, and Associate Professor Dr. Saliha Okur Gümrükçüoğlu, the chairperson of KADEM Board of Directors.

The event will feature a series of high-level discussions, with a special focus on the ethical use of AI and its impact on women’s rights.

In her statements, Bayraktar highlighted the double-edged nature of AI, which presents both opportunities and threats to gender equality. She emphasized that while AI has the potential to solve problems, it can also reinforce existing biases.

Gümrükçüoğlu pointed out that AI could either close or widen the gender gap, depending on how it is developed and applied. She emphasized that the summit will provide a global platform to explore these issues and discuss how technology can serve as a tool for social justice.
