The research provides an initial analysis of the state of diversity in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) sector in Catalonia, aiming to identify areas where biases affecting equality and non-discrimination may arise.

The process of designing, developing, and implementing artificial intelligence (AI) is deeply influenced by discriminatory dynamics. The cross-sectoral application of these technologies compels us to address the complexity of the phenomenon from a critical and global perspective. Within this framework, the Global Digital Justice project, led by Oxfam Intermón and the Global Justice Directorate of the Barcelona City Council, focuses on the impacts of AI on inequalities.

The "Tecnología Solidaria" Meetups are regular open, inclusive, and free gatherings specially designed for third-sector organizations where we learn and share knowledge about technologies, platforms, and experiences related to the digital world.
