Equitable AI:
Guanajuato Use Case
Together with an international consortium, we combined efforts towards the development of an equitable Artificial Intelligence use case in alliance with the Guanajuato Secretary of Education. We were selected as part of USAID and DAI "Global Equitable AI challenge"; this project worked to prevent and mitigate gender bias in an Early Alert Systems to prevent school dropouts. Its objectives included building capacity, exploring the potential of the AI Fairness 360 open source toolkit to identify and mitigate bias, as well as developing a Guide and a Checklist for the ethical and responsible use of AI in the education sector, together with a policy recommendations report tailored for policymakers.

This initiative was added to the Case Study Library by the Observatory of Public Sector Innovation (OPSI), an initiative by the OECD and won the Equals in Tech Award by ITU, GSMA, and UN Women in 2023.

Artificial Inteligence Ethics Guide
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Ethics Guide presents a broad overview of what AI is, the ethical concerns it creates, and how they can be addressed at national, sub-national, and municipal levels. To illustrate ethics concerns, the guide presents several case studies and provocative questions that allow decision-makers to reflect on the responsible use of AI in government systems.
