System Update - Episódio 12: Quando a Sociedade Civil Molda a Agenda da IA Em grande parte do Sul Global, as políticas de inteligência artificial estão a ser elaboradas a um ritmo acelerado — muitas vezes sem uma participação significativa da sociedade civil. A experiência de Moçambique mostra como pode ser uma advocacia informada e baseada em coligações: assente em evidências, articulada entre diferentes setores e atenta à forma como a IA pode reforçar ou desafiar desequilíbrios de poder já existentes. As organizações da sociedade civil em Moçambique estão a mobilizar-se para garantir que a governação da IA reflita o interesse público. Então, como se constrói uma boa governação da IA desde o início? Neste episódio, Rita Leote, da Plataforma Portuguesa das ONGD, conversa com Pedro Muiambo, Diretor de Programas da JOINT – Liga das ONGs em Moçambique, a plataforma nacional que representa e coordena as organizações da sociedade civil moçambicanas. A JOINT submeteu recentemente contributos técnicos para a Estratégia Nacional de Inteligência Artificial de Moçambique, defendendo uma participação significativa da sociedade civil na formulação de políticas digitais e promovendo a responsabilização, a transparência e os direitos humanos como pilares fundamentais de uma IA responsável. “System Update” - “Atualização do Sistema” é produzido pela Forus no âmbito do CADE – as Alianças da Sociedade Civil para a Capacitação Digital – um projeto cofinanciado pela União Europeia. O objetivo do CADE é apoiar a capacidade das organizações da sociedade civil para uma advocacia eficaz nos processos de governação da internet multilaterais e multissetoriais.

EN Across the Global Majority, AI policies are being drafted at speed — often without meaningful civil society input. Mozambique's experience shows what informed, coalition-based advocacy can look like: grounded in evidence, connected across sectors, and alert to how AI can either reinforce or disrupt existing power imbalances. Civil society organisations in Mozambique are stepping up to ensure that AI governance reflects public interest. So, how do you get AI governance right from the start? In this episode Rita Leote from the Portuguese Platform of Development NGOs (Plataforma Portuguesa das ONGD) speaks with Pedro Muiambo, Programme Director at JOINT Liga das ONGs em Moçambique — the national platform representing and coordinating Mozambican civil society organisations. JOINT recently submitted technical contributions to Mozambique's National AI Strategy, advocating for meaningful civil society participation in digital policymaking and pushing for accountability, transparency, and human rights as the foundations of responsible AI. "System Update", is produced by Forus as part of CADE - the Civil Society Alliances for Digital Empowerment - a project co-funded by the European Union. CADE’s objective is to support the capacity of civil society organisations for effective advocacy in multilateral and multistakeholder internet governance processes.

System Update - Episode 10: When tech mirrors injustice More often than not, offline inequalities are reproduced online, forming a broader system of violence, intimidation, and exclusion that undermines democratic participation. Risks like these prove that technology should not be seen merely as innovation but as tied to social development and the health of democratic life, especially in the Global South. Understanding this trend is essential to design digital inclusion beyond connectivity: meaningful online participation requires safety, accountability, and fair representation to protect vulnerable groups and strengthen democracy. In this episode we speak with Fernanda K. Martins, Strategy and Advocacy Director at Fundación Multitudes: a Chile-based organization with regional and international reach that works to improve governance and reduce inequality through advocacy and open government. Digital rights are a core focus of their work. "System Update", is produced by Forus as part of CADE - the Civil Society Alliances for Digital Empowerment - a project co-funded by the European Union. CADE’s objective is to support the capacity of civil society organisations for effective advocacy in multilateral and multistakeholder internet governance processes. https://cadeproject.org/ https://www.forus-international.org/en/campaign/let-s-talk-digital https://fundacionmultitudes.org/ This podcast was co-funded by the European Union.
