Reducing Bias Using Artificial IntelligenceIn this keynote, Torin Ellis will examine the complex role of AI in both advancing and potentially hindering Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) initiatives. He will discuss the challenges of reducing bias in AI systems, emphasizing the importance of a democratized review process that incorporates diverse perspectives. By exploring AI’s role in supporting new recruiting relationships, reducing cognitive biases, and capturing diverse dimensions beyond gender and race, Ellis will offer actionable insights on how organizations can leverage AI to foster inclusivity while remaining vigilant about the risks. As AI continues to reshape the workplace, ensuring transparency, fairness, and ongoing human oversight is crucial in making sure these technologies contribute positively to the future of work.

How to Get Your Peers Onboard for ChangeWe all know sustained change requires a supporting village. In this session, Sapient founder Susan Richards will discuss strategies HR leaders can use to get executive colleagues on board with any change-related initiative – big or small. The presentation will cover how tactics such as coaching, behavior modeling, negotiation, and even relationship assessments can be used in non-threatening ways to get the peer buy-in needed to make change happen. Knowing that best practices don’t always apply in the actual work world, Susan will also discuss ways to lead change in less-than-optimal situations. Susan’s real-life examples will keep the discussion lively and practical.
