Using artificial intelligence to promote diversity & inclusion

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence can help remove unconscious bias when recruiting to fill tech positions. But can it be a double-edged sword for tech leaders when it comes to promoting diversity & inclusion? The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is growing rapidly, infiltrating areas of business which have traditionally required humans to undertake what are often low-level tasks. With this comes the potential for artificial intelligence to help improve diversity & inclusion, using algorithms to arrive at decisions based around objective facts or statistics rather than subjectivity or bias. One obvious area is in the recruitment space, where AI has the potential to help organisations hire the best candidates, regardless of their background, or to improve representation of particular groups.
