Abstract

Background: In the context of a developing nation, children's participation in communal life is almost non-existent. The goal of the study is to contribute to national policies for local development that should prioritize the safety and well-being of the most vulnerable populations, particularly children under the age of 18. Innovating, including children in decision-making and maintaining local services in three pilot municipalities in order to prevent and combat all forms of exploitation to which they are exposed. How can Youth engagement in social and political community life be improved through better understanding of their needs and interests, and what are the artificial intelligence implications? Method: The methodology was used and designed to re-validate an existing program using pre-defined components of an agreement between the Italian and Lebanese governments. A needs study on the socio-demographic profile of youth and a situational analysis was conducted answering three objectives in the program of the Child Friendly City initiative. Results: Assuring the long-term viability and social inclusion of a significant socio-demographic group was successfully implemented: a free call center, software applications, a library, a digital network center, and the involvement of children on the municipal board of directors were established. The findings need to be adapted to various locations using artificial intelligence (AI) solutions and strategies for social awareness and behavior analysis. Conclusion: The importance of this study was underscored during the Covid-19 sanitary crisis, when some of these technologies enabled young people in impacted areas to integrate and become aware of the pandemic's risk. The case was based on theories such as Gender Inequalities and Children's Inclusion, Municipal Governance & Reform, Organizational Innovation (Public Sector), and Social Inclusion, and it demonstrates the value of innovating in the public sector and protecting vulnerable populations through the use of AI.

加强发展中国家弱势群体的公共机构和社会包容——组织创新和人工智能影响
背景:在一个发展中国家的背景下,儿童参与公共生活几乎是不存在的。这项研究的目标是促进地方发展的国家政策,这些政策应优先考虑最脆弱人口,特别是18岁以下儿童的安全和福祉。创新,让儿童参与决策,并在三个试点城市维持地方服务,以防止和打击儿童可能遭受的一切形式的剥削。如何通过更好地了解年轻人的需求和兴趣来改善他们对社会和政治社区生活的参与,以及人工智能的影响是什么?方法:该方法被用来重新验证现有的程序,使用意大利和黎巴嫩政府之间协议的预定义组件。针对儿童友好城市倡议方案中的三个目标,对青年的社会人口状况进行了需求研究和情况分析。结果:确保一个重要的社会人口群体的长期生存能力和社会包容性的成功实施:建立了一个免费的呼叫中心,软件应用程序,图书馆,数字网络中心,并建立了儿童参与市政董事会。研究结果需要使用人工智能(AI)解决方案和策略来适应不同的地点,以进行社会意识和行为分析。结论:在2019冠状病毒病卫生危机期间,这项研究的重要性得到了强调,其中一些技术使受影响地区的年轻人能够融入社会并意识到大流行的风险。该案例以性别不平等和儿童包容、市政治理与改革、组织创新(公共部门)和社会包容等理论为基础,展示了通过使用人工智能在公共部门创新和保护弱势群体方面的价值。
