<blockquote>"Data and algorithm bias issues extend to both internal operations and outsourced functions."--<a href="https://www.ele.llc/members/nicholas-leonard" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nicholas Leonard</a></blockquote>
In the session, <a href="https://www.ele.llc/members/iris-farley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Iris Wilson-Farley</a>, Vice President of HR Innovation at Komatsu, shared her organization's approach to exploring AI's potential in HR while grappling with the complexities and ethical considerations involved.

Three key takeaways from the insightful discussion:
<ol>
 	<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ol class="list-decimal pl-8 space-y-2 -mt-1">
 	<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Thoroughly evaluate potential bias and ethical concerns when implementing AI, especially for tasks like screening candidates or making hiring decisions. Validate outputs and have human oversight to prevent perpetuating biases and making flawed decisions.</li>
 	<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Emphasize inclusion, diversity of perspectives, and psychological safety when forming AI project teams. This can help mitigate blind spots and biases that may arise from relying too heavily on a single perspective.</li>
 	<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Assess organizational readiness and change management needs, as AI adoption may fundamentally shift roles and processes, requiring reskilling and mindset shifts among employees.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
Iris aptly encapsulated a crucial consideration with her thought-provoking quote: "What do the biases of that person look like and what kind of problems could we run into and what are the limitations of putting all our eggs in a particular basket that has faults and flaws that are based on its biases"
As organizations explore leveraging AI to enhance HR processes and foster innovation, they must contribute to an environment that welcomes diverse ideas and approaches. By embracing diverse perspectives, rigorously evaluating ethical implications, and prioritizing inclusive change management, companies can navigate the promises and perils of AI, harnessing its potential while mitigating its risks.

Session Focus: Improving Employee Engagement | Co-piloting AI to develop Leadership Assessments


Employee engagement continues to be a top priority for organizations looking to retain talent. However, developing quality leadership assessments to gauge engagement can take time and effort. This is where AI writing assistants like chatGPT can help accelerate the process.

<img class="aligncenter" src="https://wp.ele.llc/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Engagement-and-Retention-Demands.jpg" alt="" width="841" height="473" />
During this session, we focused on co-piloting AI tools to rapidly build skill assessments for improving engagement. Here are three key takeaways for learning leaders we wanted to highlight:
<ol>
 	<li>AI writing tools like chatGPT can generate assessment content fast, but output still requires human validation before use. While chatGPT suggested 10 quality conversation starter questions based on proven engagement drivers, we still reviewed for relevance.</li>
 	<li>Using multiple AI tools leads to a greater variety of questions to choose the most impactful ones. ChatGPT, Claude and Copilot interpreted the source content differently, allowing us to combine the best questions from each tool.</li>
 	<li>AI tools can be continually refined through clarifying prompts to improve results. As Barry Levitt noted, "With chatGPT or any other AI apps, you can keep refining what you want to do. Just give it more information and it'll refine it more to your liking". Providing additional context helped the AI generate better-targeted questions.</li>
</ol>
The promise of AI for developing solutions faster while saving time is exciting. But collaboration between humans and the AI is key, as we bring judgement and validation to getting the right results. AI assessments can scale engagement improvement, but thoughtful oversight and guidance are vital.
