The Cost of Exclusion: How Lack of Diversity in AI and LLMs is Failing Marginalized Communities
In recent years, there has been growing concern over the lack of diversity in the field of AI. This talk will explore how this lack of diversity is impacting marginalized communities, and how it is failing to account for the needs and experiences of these communities in the development and deployment of new technologies. From biased algorithms to discriminatory hiring practices, we will examine the ways in which exclusion is not only unjust, but also costly in terms of lost opportunities, eroded trust, and perpetuation of inequities. We will also discuss the impact of entire cities and regions that are often overlooked in the tech industry's quest for talent and innovation, and are left struggling with economic challenges like high housing costs and low-paying jobs. The talk will offer solutions for promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in AI, and highlight examples of organizations and initiatives that are leading the way in this effort. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the high cost of exclusion in AI, the urgent need for change, and the potential for cities and regions like these to drive innovation and progress.
