Ah, the 6th International Women and Justice Summit, where the paradoxical mix of empowerment and irony reaches new heights! Scheduled for November 8-9 in Istanbul, this grand gathering promises to unleash a tidal wave of discussions about “Artificial Intelligence and Women.” Because what says “gender equality” better than a bunch of experts using technology designed by men to analyze how women can ‘safely’ continue their centuries-old struggle for fairness?
As our dear leaders, including President Erdoğan and the illustrious Dr. Saliha Okur Gümrükçüoğlu, kick off the event with speeches that will surely redefine the term “beating around the bush,” we can expect a lot of enthusiastic talk about leveraging AI to improve women’s lives. You know, because robots can definitely solve the systemic gender inequality issues that humans have championed for generations!
The second day unfolds with an impressive line-up of sessions like “Artificial Intelligence, Knowledge Production and Algorithms,” which sounds like a fun night at the local library, if the library was filled with algorithms that have the emotional depth of a brick. And let’s not overlook the charmingly named session on how AI was utilized during attacks on Gaza – because if there’s anything that screams women’s empowerment, it’s discussing technological applications over a humanitarian crisis. I mean, who doesn’t love a good juxtaposition?
Sümeyye Erdoğan Bayraktar, the president of the KADEM Board of Trustees, warns us that while AI offers opportunities, it also poses threats—like a loaded gun that also has a “You Got This, Girl!” sticker on it. She reminds us, with a glimmer of hope, that some AI systems have been known to reinforce gender discrimination. Like the Amazon recruitment tool that politely kicked women to the curb in favor of their male counterparts – because who needs diversity when you can have a cozy old boys’ club powered by data sets full of biases?
Bayraktar raises critical questions about whose hands will decide the fate of women in this AI-driven future, but don’t worry, they’ll surely find some fine folks – predominantly male, of course – to oversee the ethical compliance and oversight. After all, nothing embodies gender justice quite like a panel of men deciding how women’s representation will be addressed.
As Dr. Gümrükçüoğlu cheerfully invites international representatives to get to know Türkiye and KADEM, one can only wonder if they’ll leave the summit with lighter hearts or heavier minds while grappling with the absurdity of solving gender issues through the very systems that perpetuate them.
In the end, the summit will wrap up with a final declaration—sealed with the warmth of bureaucratic necessity, reminding us all that though society marches on, it truly is a circus of contradictions where clowns might just find the key to justice hidden deep in their oversized shoes. What could possibly go wrong?
