Inclusive Leadership in an AI Era | Laura McClean | TEDxBlack Mountain

AI and Leadership - AI will change the way we work, demanding technically literate but deeply human leadership [2] - AI lacks consciousness and human emotion, making human interaction irreplaceable [3] - Inclusive leadership is a business-critical skill in the AI era [4] Inclusivity and Bias in AI - Products designed with a single perspective risk bias and exclusion at scale, impacting AI development [6] - A 2023 Stanford report indicated AI is predominantly built by males in limited geographical hubs [7] - The World Economic Forum's 2023 report showed that only 22% of AI professionals were women [7] - Biased AI decisions can damage people, trust, and brand reputation [9] - Inclusive leadership involves considering those not typically included, building solutions for non-average users [10] Practical Implementation of Inclusivity - When building or scaling a business, it is important to consider the needs of people with different nationalities and neurodiversity [12] - Smart businesses build for the future by considering inclusivity in design, such as office spaces [17] - Businesses that prioritize inclusivity are likely to be more profitable [18] - Leaders should question technology, invest in tools that augment human interaction, and consider who is excluded [21]
