Exercises: Socioeconomic inequality and technological paths

Two young people want to go into cybersecurity: one lives in Mexico City with her own computer, internet at home and a school with a lab; the other lives in a rural community where he shares a cell phone with his family and the internet keeps failing. Explain how the previous socioeconomic inequality turns into unequal technological paths even though both have the same talent.

A public university wants to increase the participation of women and of students from rural communities in its artificial intelligence degree. Design a plan with two access actions (for example, scholarships or preparatory courses) and two permanence actions (for example, mentoring, a daycare, flexible schedules or a protocol against harassment), and explain which indicators you would use to measure whether the plan works.
