Hello Everyone,
I hope this email finds you well. I would like to share the open call Incubating Feminist AI: <From Paper to Prototype to Pilot> https://aplusalliance.org/. This initiative has been selected to participate as an example of new global governance at the Paris Peace Forum https://www.womenatthetable.net/blog/a-alliance-for-inclusive-algorithms-selected-for-2021-paris-peace-forum .
If you are located in the eligible countries and regions of the Global South, we would be delighted if you submit a proposal. It would be also very helpful if you could please share the call with anyone you think might be interested in participating.
Here are some important dates:
- Opens: September 15, 2021 - Closes: October 31, 2021 (Anywhere on Earth) - Results: November 15, 2021
For this call, it is necessary to submit a preliminary proposal (4,000-5,000 words). From the submitted proposals, 9 will be selected to write a paper presenting the project in greater depth, for which CAD 8,000 will be awarded. Then, 3 will be selected to build a prototype, with a budget of 75,000 CAD. From the prototypes, one will be selected for a pilot, with an additional CAD 50,000.
