AI is a mirror of our society and our values ☄
It is designed to ruminate on and amplify what we share with it. This is especially important today when considering gender and diversity on a larger scale.
Last Friday, our CEO, Louise Barnekow took part in an important panel discussion organized by Amazon Web Services (AWS). She was joined by ⭐️ Theo Hultberg Tolv and Filippa Hasselström, with Christine Cederberg from Deloitte moderating. The panel explored the vital role of diversity in the tech industry, especially now with the rise of Generative AI. The panel discussed a range of topics, including:
1️⃣ Tech plays an important role in reflecting society’s diversity, especially by valuing women’s contributions in technology and product areas. As technology becomes a part of all aspects of life, it’s crucial to have diverse groups providing feedback. This is even more important now with the rise of Generative AI and the use of Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF).
2️⃣ Transparent Recruitment Practices focus on the importance of clear and fair hiring methods throughout all levels of an organization. At Mynewsdesk, we follow a process that includes set interview questions and varied hiring panels to address and reduce unconscious biases. Notably, we have achieved a 60/40 gender ratio in managerial positions, with a majority of women.
3️⃣ Top-Down Commitment: Stressed the importance of gender diversity advocacy from the highest echelons of leadership. Grassroots efforts are commendable, but genuine change requires steadfast commitment from boards and executives.
