Theme Opening: The Double-Edged Sword: Will AI Hinder or Accelerate Diversity?

Studies show that companies with diverse teams are 33% more likely to outperform their peers in profitability, yet workplace diversity figures are still low! Could AI be the solution or a hindrance?

In this session, we take a look into the use of AI and how it could potentially escalate diversity challenges such as biased systems and job displacement. On the flip side, with the power of AI, workplaces can utilise data-driven decisions for dismantling barriers to entry, democratizing access to resources, and promoting equal opportunities for underrepresented groups.
