Last month, I co-facilitated a webinar for the International Association for Human Resource Information Management (IHRIM) where we discussed the power and pitfalls of artificial intelligence. Inspired by the conversation, I decided to take the conversation further by developing a blog series exploring some of the 2018 trends for diversity, equity, & inclusion (DEI) professionals. Over the next six weeks we’ll take a deeper dive exploring some of these trends. Be on the lookout for more posts every Wednesday, and if you like this content, subscribe to the RPC newsletter.

Artificial intelligence is playing an increasing role in all aspects of Human Resources systems and everyday practices. Often, technology is making decisions before people are making them. But can technology be used to minimize unconscious bias in HR operations? Or does it reinforce stereotypes, and sabotage a company’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategy? If you are curious about these questions, consider attending an upcoming webinar I'll be co-facilitating with my friend and colleague, Bernadette Smith on Wednesday, January 31 at 12 pm PT for members from the International Association for Human Resource Information Management (IHRIM)
