7amleh launched the agenda for the Palestine Digital Activism Forum 2024 (PDAF) in its 8th edition, under the theme "Artificial Intelligence (AI): Revolutionary Promises & Discriminatory Realities."
Registration for the forum - which will take place online on June 4th and 5th, is now open. The forum aims to put Palestinian digital rights in the spotlight both regionally, and globally, as it discusses various aspects of AI technologies’ impact on Palestinian digital rights and its permeation into various aspects of life, especially during times of crises and the war on Gaza. The forum is organized in collaboration with 45 partner organizations, and will host over 60 local, regional, and international speakers and trainers who will be integral parts of the forum. Speakers from major social media companies such as TikTok and Google are also participating in the forum.
The 8th edition of the PDAF 2024 aims to open a platform for discussion, dialogue, and suggestion of policy and practical proposals on AI and Palestinian digital rights. This year, for the 8th consecutive year, we will meet at PDAF 2024, for Palestinian human rights supporters, activists, human rights defenders, journalists, civil society workers and social media companies, and governments aiming to study, understand and discuss the different impacts of AI. On the first day of the forum, we will discuss policies related to AI and their impact on human rights. The second day will include workshops led by specialized trainers in various fields on information analysis and combating technological and political deception, and fields where the AI can improve daily life and protect privacy and human rights.
