SUMMARY:Inclusion & Wellbeing Champion Forum: Impacts of AI for disabled employees
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an opportunity to discuss shaping the risks and opportunities for employment of disabled employees presented by AI adoption.\n\n\nThis is an online event. \nAudience\nThis event is open to Inclusion (Gender\, Race and Inclusion) and Wellbeing Champions. \n \n\n\nBackground\n \nBITC found that 90% of organisations are considering the way AI interacts with the equality\, diversity and inclusion agenda. A tailored focus on the impact of AI and disabled employees must be prioritised to reduce the risk of stalling progress on the disability pay and employment gap. \n \n\n\nAbout the Event\nAre you using or considering AI and/or automation technologies in your workplace? Have you considered the impacts of AI on disabled employees? \nJoin BITC and the University of Birmingham to explore the impacts of AI on disabled people in the UK through the AI-EMPOWERED research project with Dr Daniel Wheatley\, Director of the Work Inclusivity Research Centre\, University of Birmingham. \nThis champion forum shares expert-led insight and provides space to contribute to understanding the impacts of AI and automation on disabled employees. Regardless of your organisation’s maturity or current use of AI technologies\, research estimates that globally 92 million jobs will be displaced by 2030. \nDisabled employees already experience disproportionate marginalisation and barriers to accessing good work\, an inequity at risk of rising without responsible AI adoption. \nThis event will: \n– Explore the AI Empowered research project aims \n– Ensure inclusivity remains at the forefront when considering the use of AI \n– Facilitate best practice learning to support disabled people in the AI era \n \nBusiness in the Community’s work on Artificial Intelligence and Wellbeing: \nBusiness in the Community has responded to the rapidly evolving rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) through our Responsible AI labs\, spotlighting critical challenges AI poses if businesses fail to embrace responsible integration. Considering the impact of AI on marginalised groups has remained imperative to this approach\, exploring the Gendered Impacts of Artificial Intelligence and Racial Bias in AI. \nBITC’s Wellbeing campaign and BITC Workwell model positions thriving people at the heart of organisational purpose\, culture and business strategy\, providing a framework for an intersectional\, inclusive and people-first approach. Inclusive AI practice should consider the lived experience of the one in seven workers in Britain with a disability and the broader workforce wellbeing implications of adoption to identify risks and mitigate accordingly. \nFind out more about BITC’s work on wellbeing. \n \n\n\nGuest Speaker\nOur guest speaker is Dr Daniel Wheatley\, Director of the Work Inclusivity Research Centre\, University of Birmingham. \nHe will be discussing the AI EMPOWERED research project\, exploring the impacts of AI on disabled people in the UK. \n \n\n\nBooking and contact details and further information\n\nContact Jade Olivo for any further questions.\nFull joining instructions will be sent before the event.\n\nFind out how your organisation can become a member of Business in the Community
