Abstract

Background. This research addresses the intersection of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and women’s empowerment in Afghanistan, aligning with global initiatives and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The study aims to provide nuanced insights into the multifaceted impact of ICT on financial independence, economic empowerment, and health outcomes among Afghan women. Purpose. The research employs a purposive sampling method, involving 170 participants from diverse regions in Afghanistan to ensure representation from areas with varying socio-economic and cultural characteristics. Through a mixed-methods approach, including structured surveys and qualitative analysis, the study seeks to understand the perceptions of ICT and its experiences with women’s empowerment. Method. Structured surveys cover demographics, ICT perceptions, and women’s empowerment experiences. Qualitative data undergo thematic analysis, while quantitative analysis utilizes statistical methods such as ANOVA, logistic regression, chi-square tests, binomial tests, and descriptive statistics. Results. The findings underscore a consensus among participants on the positive impact of ICT, particularly on financial independence, economic empowerment, and health outcomes. Associations between telemedicine, digital health, and improved women’s health are identified. Binomial tests highlight success in bridging the digital gender gap and enhancing awareness. Positive perceptions of social media, online communities, and digital advocacy in promoting gender equality are revealed through descriptive statistics. Conclusion. This study contributes novel insights by comprehensively examining the impact of ICT on women’s empowerment in Afghanistan, covering diverse dimensions such as financial independence, economic empowerment, and health outcomes. The robust mixed-methods approach yields unique findings that enrich the existing literature on ICT and women’s empowerment.

Abstract

Background. The undeniable infiltration of artificial intelligence into numerous career fields underlines statistical methods as an important tool in optimizing accurate results from AI. Therefore, the simulation of sound statistical practices is, therefore, unavoidable in healthcare, finance, and environmental sciences for such purposes as model validation performance improvement and uncertainty analysis, among other reasons. Purpose. The purpose of this proposal is to collaboratively analyze the role of statistical methods, like regression, Bayesian inference, Fi-Parsing, etc., in optimizing AI. Some examples will further aid in reinforcing the moment of reliability and firmness of any AI application. Method. A full systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted that analyzed scholarly publication articles from 2019 to early 2024 in reputed databases such as Springer, MDPI, ScienceDirect, and Wiley. The focus of the review is on the application of statistical techniques on the AI systems for improved performance and decision-making reliability. Results. The findings show that statistical methods highly recommend their role in AI model validation uncertainty representation, prediction, and optimal performance enhancement. The evidence for improved performance in critical areas such as healthcare, finance, and environmental science creates great hurdles for high-stakes decision-making. Conclusion. The study upholds the fundamentally critical role that statistical methods occupy and their role in AI development towards future pursuits of research and practical work. A clear-cut pathway to institutionalizing these methods in AI technology is proposed as a guarantee of its reliability and sustainability in diverse applications.
