Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing work and life as we know it. 2023 has seen a range of new AI tools become readily accessible to consumers, including ChatGPT and Google’s new search tool, Bard. However, many of these tools are built using historical data that’s riddled with bias, and as we begin integrating them into work and life, a significant new risk to diversity, equity and inclusion is emerging.
In this masterclass, we’ll explore what DEI leaders and advocates need to understand and ask when contributing to organisational discussions on the use of AI tools in our workplaces.
This discussion will include:
What is AI and how does it work?
How is AI likely to show up in our work & when?
How is bias of the past being written into these tools?
What risks and ramifications could AI have on DEI?
What do we need to understand and advocate for as DEI leaders in organisations beginning to implement AI tools?
How can AI be harnessed to benefit DEI?
To guide our exploration of this topic is esteemed journalist, advocate and author, Tracey Spicer. In her recently-published book, Man-Made, Tracey aims to open readers’ eyes to a transformative technological shift in society and give readers the tools to make positive change.
As essential conversation for practitioners, leaders and advocates that’s not to be missed.
