Inclusion | Align your DEI and AI efforts so no one gets left behind

As AI continues to become essential technology in the workplace, it’s increasingly important that all employees be able to learn the crucial AI skills needed for the future.

This is particularly true, with data from the World Economic Forum showing that 75% of companies plan to adopt AI technology. But to utilise it effectively, they need to ensure their people have the skills to make their AI efforts successful.

However, not all employee populations receive equal opportunities to learn about AI or use it in their current positions. That’s why businesses today have a new opportunity to avoid repeating past mistakes that reinforce inequity, and instead, consider what they can do to give all employees, regardless of background, the chance to upskill in AI.
