Women taking part in a UAE programe helping to prepare female peacekeepers for service across the globe are to be given specialized training in artificial intelligence to further develop their skills.
The scheme, which will continue until the end of September, will seek to bolster efforts to increase female participation in military and peacekeeping fields at a time when the world is beset by deadly conflict.
The annual training programe is organized by the General Women's Union in collaboration with the Ministry of Defense and the UN Women Liaison Office for the GCC.
The AI training sessions are designed to provide participants with valuable insights into using advanced technologies responsibly and effectively, preparing them to foster digital literacy and social responsibility within their communities.
In March, the UN General Assembly adopted the first resolution on artificial intelligence, which is aimed at ensuring the powerful new technology benefits all nations, respects human rights and is “safe, secure and trustworthy”.
The resolution, co-sponsored by 123 states, was adopted by consensus and without a vote, meaning it had the support of all 193 UN member nations.
Military personnel from 10 countries – the UAE, Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen, Tanzania, The Gambia, Liberia, Pakistan, Kosovo and Kyrgyz Republic – are involved in this year's initiative.
