AI总结:

本文针对巴布亚新几内亚面临的算法偏见、数字鸿沟等科技发展问题,结合BRIDGES2023研讨会成果,提出以开源软件运动推动ICT教育、软件工程能力提升和OSS应用,助力该国构建公平数字未来。

摘要:

巴布亚新几内亚(PNG)是一个新兴科技社会,拥有突破地理与社会边界、融入全球市场的机遇。然而,当前由硅谷科技巨头及全球北方其他跨国公司主导的科技格局,往往忽视PNG等新兴经济体的需求。随着(科技产品部署中的)算法偏见、(商用软件难以负担导致的)数字鸿沟等问题对PNG用户的影响日益显现,这一状况愈发突出。现有研究表明,开源软件(OSS)运动被视为在PNG的数字化与信息与通信技术(ICT)普及过程中创造公平竞争环境的一种途径。本观点类论文记录了第二届“以全球工程化软件弥合鸿沟国际研讨会”(BRIDGES2023)的成果,旨在为未来关于ICT教育、提升软件工程(SE)能力以及OSS应用的研究提出思路,推动为PNG打造更公平的数字未来。

英文摘要:

Papua New Guinea (PNG) is an emerging tech society with an opportunity to overcome geographic and social boundaries, in order to engage with the global market. However, the current tech landscape, dominated by Big Tech in Silicon Valley and other multinational companies in the Global North, tends to overlook the requirements of emerging economies such as PNG. This is becoming more obvious as issues such as algorithmic bias (in tech product deployments) and the digital divide (as in the case of non-affordable commercial software) are affecting PNG users. The Open Source Software (OSS) movement, based on extant research, is seen as a way to level the playing field in the digitalization and adoption of Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) in PNG. This perspectives paper documents the outcome of the second International Workshop on BRIdging the Divides with Globally Engineered Software} (BRIDGES2023) in the hopes of proposing ideas for future research into ICT education, uplifting software engineering (SE) capability, and OSS adoption in promoting a more equitable digital future for PNG.
