AI is Only as Good as the Humans Behind It
AI is powerful, but its intelligence is only as strong as the people shaping it. Bias, blind spots, and limited perspectives in AI come from the humans who build, train, and use it. In this thought-provoking session, we’ll explore why human diversity—of experience, perspective, and network—is critical to ensuring AI serves everyone equitably. Just like a strong financial portfolio requires diversification, so does the data and expertise that fuel AI. At the end of the day, technology is a tool—but people are the driving force behind its impact.
What You’ll Learn:
How Human Bias Shapes AI Outcomes: Understand how the people behind AI influence its behavior—and how bias in design and data can lead to unfair or harmful results.
Why Diversity Is Essential in AI Development: Learn why diverse teams and inclusive data sources are critical to building AI that serves everyone, not just a select few.
The Role of Human Oversight in AI Decision-Making: Discover why AI should support—not replace—human judgment, and how ethical oversight ensures responsible use of technology.
