Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming society, influencing everything from decision-making to societal norms. However, its potential to perpetuate biases or drive equity depends on how it is designed, developed, and deployed. This session explores the critical intersection of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) with AI, emphasizing the need to integrate DEI principles to create systems that minimize harm and maximize positive societal impact. Participants will gain actionable strategies to shape AI technologies that foster justice, equity, and inclusivity in an increasingly AI-driven world.
