CEDAW/C/GC/40 (d) Take immediate legislative and regulatory measures and adopt international and national frameworks to build a gender-equal and sustainable digital future, with parity and radical inclusion at its core. This includes parity in the development of non-biased, gender-sensitive and accessible artificial intelligence and the correction of biased artificial intelligence, through the application of interdisciplinary expertise on human rights, including women’s rights, with corresponding continuous impact assessment from the outset and at every stage of development and dissemination to prevent biases, including training data bias, algorithmic bias and cognitive bias. It should also include the establishment of independent regulation mechanisms based on human rights, including women’s rights, to audit the implementation of de-biasing; (e) Adopt legislation and cooperate with media outlets to condemn, monitor and ensure accountability for sexism and misogyny, whether in public discourse or in mainstream or social media, to reach parity in editorial boards and media regulatory bodies and to enhance the capacity of media professionals and digital outlets to prevent the perpetuation of stereotypes about women in decision-making and ensure the equal visibility and valorization of women and their objective portrayal; (f) Dismantle stereotypes and establish parity in sport and artistic expression regarding decision-making, funding and pay, as well as ensuring that women can perform in a safe and conducive environment; (g) Establish or increase mentoring programmes, including intergenerational mentorship schemes, on political campaigning, leadership and negotiation for women and girls in all their diversity wishing to assume or already holding decision-making positions. 4. Representation of women in all their diversity on equal terms with men 32. The right of women to participate on equal terms with men in their countries’ political, social, economic and cultural life is recognized in the preamble and articles 7 and 8 of the Convention. In its general recommendation No. 23 (1997), the Committee clarifies that equal sharing of decision-making power must avoid tokenism, whereby women are included but restricted to less influential roles or gain their position by virtue of connections to male relatives. It establishes that States parties have a responsibility to appoint women to senior decision-making roles. The Committee observes that women remain underrepresented in leadership positions at all levels and, when included, are often restricted to less influential roles or leadership roles in areas stereotypically associated with femaleness and stereotypically deemed less important. 33. The Committee recommends that States parties: (a) Structurally revise nomination, promotion and career management systems, introducing a parity requirement and gender rotation in leadership roles; (b) Appoint women to senior roles in all areas of decision-making, preventing tokenism to ensure that women have full and equal power in these roles, and ensure equal opportunities for young persons; (c) Establish collective channels for women’s influence in all decisionmaking bodies, for example, by recognizing and providing adequate funding and logistical support to gender equality caucuses, sections and committees; (d) Establish safeguards to prevent the influence of gender stereotypes when assigning decision-making roles to women and men; 14/29 24-20036
