About this event

Join us online on 2024-09-17 at 09:00 AM UTC to discuss the ethics and importance of AI in the workplace!

This is a Branch panel event, which will open a dialogue on equality, diversity and inclusion challenges when using AI at work. Committee member, Katie Gough, will be joined by Jennifer Gibson, Senior Associate Solicitor from Aaron & Partners and Sam Warner, Neurodivergent Communication Specialist from Get your Message Across. 

 

Katie, Sam and Jennifer will discuss a number of topical AI issues that are impacting EDI and consider how we can best navigate them. There will be an opportunity for questions and participation on this rapidly evolving area. 

 

Some of the questions they will discuss are: 

  • How does AI impact EDI? 
  • Should we prioritise accuracy over diversity when using AI? 
  • How much data is ‘too much’ when working with AI? 
  • Is AI decision-making more fair than human decision-making?
