Abstract

In many organizations, supporting diversity and promoting inclusion is still a major concern. Unconscious biases and stereotyping cause us to have preconceived ideas about what an ideal employee or leader should look like. Unconscious biases are also a major roadblock to an inclusive environment and business culture. Organizations have been investing heavily in training programs for their employees attempting to changes these patterns. Human habits, especially unconscious ones, are not easy to reverse. This research looks at the use of AI to enhance diversity and inclusion in organizations. This qualitative study will examine how organizations are using AI to enhance diversity and inclusion. In the first phase of the study, senior executives and diversity officers in various organizations will be interviewed. In the second phase of the research, the findings from the first phase will be used to design questionnaires and the survey will be administered in some organizations.

How can AI help to enhance diversity and inclusion?

In many organizations, supporting diversity and promoting inclusion is still a major concern. Unconscious biases and stereotyping cause us to have preconceived ideas about what an ideal employee or leader should look like. Unconscious biases are also a major roadblock to an inclusive environment and business culture. Organizations have been investing heavily in training programs for their employees attempting to changes these patterns. Human habits, especially unconscious ones, are not easy to reverse. This research looks at the use of AI to enhance diversity and inclusion in organizations. This qualitative study will examine how organizations are using AI to enhance diversity and inclusion. In the first phase of the study, senior executives and diversity officers in various organizations will be interviewed. In the second phase of the research, the findings from the first phase will be used to design questionnaires and the survey will be administered in some organizations.
