Description: Closing the gap refers to efforts to reduce disparities in access to artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. This concept encompasses not only the availability of technological tools and resources but also the training and education necessary to effectively use these technologies. The gap can manifest at different levels, including geographical, socioeconomic, and educational differences. In an increasingly digital world, unequal access to AI can perpetuate or even exacerbate existing inequalities, making closing this gap a matter of social justice and ethics. AI ethics focuses on how these technologies are developed and used, ensuring they are inclusive and equitable. Therefore, closing the gap involves not only providing access to technology but also ensuring that all groups, especially those historically marginalized, have the opportunity to participate in the creation and application of AI solutions. This includes promoting policies that encourage diversity in the AI field and implementing educational programs that empower communities to make the most of these tools. In summary, closing the gap is a comprehensive effort aimed at democratizing access to artificial intelligence and ensuring that its benefits are equitably distributed across society.
