SUMMARY:Beyond the Start-Up: Navigating scalability for Bahraini women entrepreneurs
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council | Virtual Event  \nDescription: Join us on February 7th\, 2024\, for the final session of this year’s Bahrain WIn Fellowship. Our workshop\, “Beyond the Start-Up: Navigating Scalability for Bahraini Women Entrepreneurs\,” at 10:00 AM EST (6 PM Manama time)\, will offer key insights on growing businesses across the MENA region. Bahrain’s commitment to advancing gender equality has seen remarkable improvements when it comes to women’s business participation\, both in the public sector where women hold 54 percent of workforce\, and in the private sector where they comprise 35 percent of the workforce. These figures come in light of improved legislations between 2020 and 2022 related to pay equity\, entrepreneurship\, and pensions; but also amidst efforts aimed at sustaining Bahrain’s liberal business environment\, making it rank as the fourth most improved economy in the world as per the ease of doing business report published by the World Bank in 2020. These developments continue to support an environment conducive to innovation\, creating along the way an attractive market for investors and offering a culture of mentorship for entrepreneurs in general\, and businesswomen in particular. As Bahraini women entrepreneurs seek expansion beyond their borders\, this workshop will delve into effective scaling strategies\, network leverage\, and investor attraction\, featuring wisdom from experienced business leaders. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the avenues of business scalability in Bahrain and beyond. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Political Violence in America: A Conversation with Mary B. McCord
DESCRIPTION:Carnegie Endowment For International Peace | Virtual Event \nDescription: In its threat assessment for 2024\, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security forecast that\, among other threats\, the 2024 election cycle will be a “key event for possible violence and foreign influence targeting our election infrastructure\, processes and personnel.” Indeed\, Attorney General Merrick Garland noted that in recent months there had been a “deeply disturbing spike” in threats against government workers and public servants. \nWhat is the nature of these threats? What is driving and enabling political violence in America today?

McCord to unpack these and other issues. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Assessing the impact of generative AI and other online threats in a historic election year
DESCRIPTION:The Brookings Institute | Virtual Event \nDescription: 2024 will be a historic year for elections. Democracies comprising 41% of the world’s population and 42% of its GDP will cast their votes around the globe. Yet recent shifts in the information space threaten to turbocharge the spread of false content at the same time major social media platforms are scaling back investments in content moderation. The widespread proliferation of generative AI systems has drastically reduced barriers to creating and disseminating wholly fabricated content or coordinating cyberattacks against political campaigns and electoral infrastructure. Many are concerned that a wave of AI-generated content could derail democratic processes globally. However\, it remains to be seen whether these fears will be borne out in practice or how this technology will impact the information space over the coming year. On February 7\, the Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technology Initiative at Brookings will host an expert panel moderated by Valerie Wirtschafter to assess the effects of generative AI and other novel online threats to global elections in 2024\, disentangle the facts from the hype\, and discuss recommendations for tech companies and policymakers to address these challenges. \nThe registration link can be found below.
