At the #AIsummit in India, digital inclusion was front and center. But #inclusion at what cost? Evidence from #SriLanka shows that funding #Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) in post-conflict settings can risk enabling surveillance without strong safeguards. Rights protections must be a pre-condition, not an afterthought🔗 bit.ly/4aA1745 @sanjanah

📽️ Replay disponible : « Quand les données locales font défaut, comment mesurer l'impact économique d'une guerre ? » C'est autour de cette question que la série des Séminaires Montyon a été lancée ce lundi 19 janvier, un cycle pensé pour favoriser la réflexion, le dialogue et le partage de connaissances sur les enjeux actuels de politique de développement. Dans son intervention, Jean-Louis Arcand a expliqué comment la luminosité nocturne, aperçue depuis un satellite, permet de mesurer l'impact économique de la guerre à Gaza, sans envoyer des équipes sur le terrain et en évitant les biais liés aux sources locales. (Re)voir le replay ici : youtu.be/4vWhkHXESaE?si… Les Séminaires Montyon, portés par le Pôle clermontois de développement international (PCDI), ont vocation à devenir un rendez-vous régulier pour chercheurs, partenaires et professionnels intéressés par la recherche et le dialogue sur les politiques de développement. Merci à toutes et à tous de votre participation, et à très bientôt pour les prochaines sessions ! _________ Le PCDI est une plateforme de collaboration portée par @FondationFERDI, @cerdi (Université Clermont Auvergne-CNRS-IRD) et le Global Development Network, avec le soutien de l’État français, via @AFD_en, et des collectivités territoriales. Illustration réalisée par Idah Razafindrakoto.
