Speaker highlights AI’s dual role: aiding accountability and amplifying harms such as gender-based violence
Summary
The presenter warned AI can both exacerbate online violence against women and help detect patterns of abuse; noted Latin America’s legal recognition of femicide in 20 countries and said governments can use AI for investigations only with human-rights safeguards.
The presenter addressed both risks and uses of AI, saying it "can deepen violence against women, including online, or it can help identify patterns of abuse, support prevention, and strengthen accountability." She linked the discussion to the region's legal developments, noting that "20 countries have incorporated femicide or gender related killings of women into their legal systems."
On organized crime, the presenter warned that criminal networks may use AI to operate across borders, but also said governments can use AI to "strengthen cooperation, investigations, prevention, with human rights safeguards firmly in place." The remarks framed AI as a tool that requires rights-based guardrails in order to serve public-safety goals without enabling abuses.
