In this webinar we dive into what inclusion and efficiency means ensuring the development or building of systems that don’t require technical expertise to interpret—ensuring that trust, oversight, and agency are accessible to all users. Whether a rural health worker, a student, or a community organizer, each person should be able to understand what a system is doing and why.
As our community keeps growing, monthly meetups are a space to stay connected, share our work, and explore the latest in AI, especially at the intersection of social justice and human rights, while welcoming broader conversations.
In this stage we examine the opportunity to reflect on how power operates in AI: Who gets to say if it works? Who can question it? Who can stop it?
We have partnered with the Chilean Centro Nacional de Inteligencia Artificial, CENIA, to co-construct a Latin American Spanish language version of the validated Toolbox, with use cases relevant to the regional experience. The partnership builds on the learnings from the workshop structure and outreach from the African Toolbox to do so.
In this final stage and webinar; we look at what true accountability means: planning for ongoing monitoring, shared governance, and the possibility of “no.” We will explore what it means for systems to be responsive—not just to data—but to dignity.
Led by Savannah Thais, the AI & Equality human Rights LLMs Benchmark is part of our core commitment: to build AI systems that respect dignity, uphold equality, and serve everyone. In this Pub-Talk, Savannah will present the research outcomes of the project.

USAWA AI is an interactive, educational experience built around an AI avatar that draws on carefully mediated testimony from West African survivors of domestic servitude. Rather than recreating historical scenes or offering total explanations, the AI is designed to speak partially and cautiously, reflecting the ethical limits of testimony and the sensitivity of slavery.
SafeHer: A Reporting Tool for Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence in Kenya. SafeHer is a reporting tool developed by SafeOnline Women Kenya (SOW-Kenya) that enables women and girls in Kenya to report incidents of technology-facilitated gender-based violence.
Adopting a “calling in” rather than “calling out” stance toward AI practitioners, the paper offers actionable guidance on how intersectionality can be substantively incorporated into technical work, thereby recentring social science theory within the field of algorithmic fairness.
