Responsible AI Series: The Racial Bias in AI and What to Do?

This is an online event.

Audience

The Responsible Artificial Intelligence(AI) series is only open to members of Business in the Community (BITC). This event has been designed for Diversity and Inclusion practitioners/managers, HR/People/Talent management practitioners/managers, Risk management practitioners/managers, Heads of HR/People/Talent management and anybody working with AI.

Background

Is there racial bias within AI? Yes. Are there actions that employers can take to reduce these risks? Yes.

AI is poised to transform work, with implications for people, places, and the planet. Every business will engage with AI, affecting employee support, customer interactions, and value chains. Responsible AI practices can enhance business performance and address societal challenges. Poor practices may perpetuate biases and worsen environmental impacts.

BITC is embarking on a series of dymanic Responsible Business AI events, spotlighting the critical challenges and barriers that AI poses if businesses fail to embrace responsible integration, where leaders and practitioners have the opportunity to collaborate with peers and gather insights from our issue area experts and trailblazing businesses within our network.

About the event

BITC are delighted to host Adrian Joseph OBE, with a career history which includes Google, Chief data and AI roles in EY and BT and former Chair of the BITC’s Race Leadership Team.

AI can be used as a force for good through its amazing capabilities. However, this must be considered with the risks that emerge alongside the opportunities. This event will reveal where and how racial bias manifests itself with AI and identifies what actions employers can take to harness the benefits, yet guard against potential negative impacts.
