La velocidad con la cual se han desarrolladas algunas de estas aplicaciones, combinada a una falta de bases de datos desglosados por g\u00e9nero, y una de las tasas&nbsp;m\u00e1s&nbsp;bajas&nbsp;de empleo de las&nbsp;mujeres en este sector (78% de los profesionales de IA son hombres), han resultado en un sesgo de g\u00e9nero y una reproducci\u00f3n de los estereotipos y normas sociales discriminatorias existentes en los productos de IA. Ejemplos incluyen sistemas que no reconocen voces agudas o rostros femeninos, dificultades para las mujeres acceder a ciertos trabajos u obtener pr\u00e9stamos al investigar autom\u00e1ticamente sus solicitudes, y la asociaci\u00f3n sistem\u00e1tica de las mujeres al&nbsp;trabajo&nbsp;dom\u00e9stico asalariado o al cuidado infantil.

Similarly, governments and international organizations are taking action to encourage and support the adoption of public policies \u2013 as well as increased funding \u2013 to incentivize the development and use of green technologies in the hopes of reaching Net Zero by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of Green Technologies and solutions include, among others: burning landfill to generate electricity (biomass, bioeconomy); recycling wastewater to make it drinkable (or clean enough for other purposes); using energy-efficient lighting and other technological devices to conserve natural resources and reduce environmental impact, etc. In short, Green technology helps humanity become more efficient with resources, which can often translates into savings in terms of energy, water, earth, fossil fuels and more \u2013 but also significant savings in terms of cost and time. The tendency has become so big that last year alone, global investment in clean energy surpassed $1 trillion\u2014for the first time matching the amount invested in fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This panel will explore the current challenges and opportunities of green and clean technologies for the social and economic development of the Americas, as well as other innovative solutions to tackle climate change imperatives in the region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moderator:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/laccei.org\/laccei2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/aryanne-pqw3ewqo5jkxkd9203g7hq3g4nc1oksal2xkz9mnzc.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-619\" width=\"95\" height=\"119\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Aryanne Quintal.<br>Science and Technology Specialist, Department of Economic Development, Executive Secretariat for Integral Development, OAS.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group bio is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\nBio: <a href=\"#\" class=\"popup-link\">Click Here<\/a>\n<div class=\"popup-overlay\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"popup-content\">\n Aryanne Quintal is a Specialist within the Competitiveness, Innovation and Technology Section of the Organization of American States (OAS).
