Gyeonggi Province Women and Family Foundation to Hold 'Gender and AI Policy' Forum on September 3

The Gyeonggi Province Women and Family Foundation will hold a policy discussion forum on September 3 at the auditorium of the Gyeonggi Women's Vision Center on the topic of "Gyeonggi Province AI Policy from a Gender Perspective: Issues and Directions."

The forum, held in commemoration of Gender Equality Week 2026 (September 1-7), was organized to share the foundation's research findings on linking AI with gender equality and family policy, and to discuss Gyeonggi Province's artificial intelligence (AI) policy from a gender perspective.

The foundation operated the "Gyeonggi Women and Family Future Forum: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Gender" in the first half of this year to discuss sector-specific issues. Based on this, the foundation is currently conducting research to establish a gender-sensitive analysis framework for Gyeonggi Province's AI policy and explore directions for AI utilization in the childcare sector by October.

The forum will proceed with presentations and designated discussions. Research Fellows Song Ri-ra and Kim Ji-hyun will present on the topic of "Gender-sensitive Analysis of AI Policy and Possibilities for AI Utilization in the Childcare Sector," diagnosing Gyeonggi Province's current situation and proposing future policy directions.

Discussants include Lee Jung-a, head of the Gyeonggi Women's Organizations Coalition; Lee Young-geul, professor at Hansei University; Kim Hae-ryeon, director of the Women's Policy Division of Gyeonggi Province; and Lee Chae-myeong, Gyeonggi Province councilor. Kim Kyung-hee, professor at Chung-Ang University, will serve as moderator.

Acting Executive Director Moon Kyung-hee of the foundation stated, "Women and family policy in the era of AI transformation requires an integrated approach that combines the social impact of AI with gender perspectives," and added, "We expect the forum to serve as a leading discussion venue that approaches Gyeonggi Province's AI policy framework and direction through a gender lens."

The forum, which will be livestreamed through the foundation's YouTube channel 'Gugut TV,' is open to all interested residents of Gyeonggi Province. An event for online participants will also be held, and advance registration can be made through the foundation's website (www.gwff.kr) event information page.
