All technology solutions, even AI, are created by humans, and thus have the potential to be influenced and impacted by human biases. Solutions designed to produce bias-free outcomes in HR processes like hiring or compensation have to continuously be evaluated to ensure that these outcomes are in fact being attained. Employment attorneys Kate Bischoff and Heather Bussing, who are working in the thick of risk management associated with bias in and around technology, will explore the issues associated with the ways in which technology can either perpetuate or help reduce bias. They’ll cover how bias can be amplified by technology, how to look at your data for evidence of biased outcomes, how to talk with the C-Suite about bias and technology, and what to do when tech that is supposed to eliminate bias actually makes it worse. They’ll conclude with a summary of key actionable principles for managing HR tech projects to minimize bias.
