And Dr. Carlotta Rigotti is assistant professor at eLaw, Center for Law and Digital Technologies at Leiden University and her research sits at the intersection of law, gender, and technology, where she examines contemporary manifestation of structural intersectional subordination of women that are technologically facilitated, amplified, or created.  This study entitled Gender Bias and Artificial Intelligence is part of the FEMM Annual Research Programme 2026 and is linked to the FEMM own-initiative report I mentioned before.  And the rapporteur for this report is Arba Kokalari.  As for all the projects contained in the annual research program, the study was commissioned by Policy Department Citizens Equality and Culture, who contracted Mrs. Nelle Roekens and Carlotta Rigotti, as presented before.  So, I've been told the presentation will start by Carlotta, yes, that it is online.
