SUMMARY:Webinar on artificial intelligence deployment for consumer protecti
 on enforcement authorities
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes an essential tool in re
 gulatory and enforcement efforts\, consumer protection agencies face both 
 opportunities and challenges in integrating AI into their work. AI can en
 hance enforcement efficiency\, improve detection of unfair market practice
 s\, and strengthen decision-making processes. However\, its deployment req
 uires careful consideration of transparency\, accountability\, and ethical
  use.Recognizing these challenges\, the UNCTAD informal working group on c
 onsumer protection in e-commerce (WGE) has been actively exploring the int
 ersection of AI and consumer protection. As a result of this work\, the W
 GE is developing a checklist for enforcement authorities deploying AI to s
 upport them in adopting AI tools responsibly and effectively.This webinar 
 will provide a platform for consumer protection authorities to share their
  experiences in AI deployment. Experts from El Salvador\, Poland\, the Re
 public of Korea Thailand and Zambia will present their approaches and disc
 uss the challenges they have encountered in integrating AI into their enfo
 rcement activities. The session will also serve as an opportunity to gath
 er insights for the AI checklist\, ensuring it becomes a practical tool fo
 r consumer protection agencies planning to implement AI.&lt\;p&gt\;As arti
 ficial intelligence (AI) becomes an essential tool in regulatory and enfor
 cement efforts\, consumer protection agencies face both opportunities and 
 challenges in integrating AI into their work.&amp\;nbsp\;&lt\;/p&gt\;&lt\;
