Release date: August 15, 2023

Genres: Business & Career Development

DEI consultant and corporate speaker, Risha Grant, shares her practice of learning how to welcome and embrace people's full humanity, without BS, full stop. What's BS? It's bullshit for sure, but more specifically it's the powerful and often invisible belief systems we've been steeped in since birth-the judgment and bias we carry with us that impact our own lives and the many others we encounter every day. Risha teaches us about the inner work and the outer work we need to do to dismantle our 'biasphere,' and change how we see ourselves and how we interact with others. The more people are willing to acknowledge and address the biases inherent in their belief systems, the more those biases will dissipate and the better our work environments will become. Readers will learn how to: Recognize when your BS manifests as 'isms' and phobias that follow you to work Cure scarcity mentality, a damaging byproduct of fear Validate other people's experiences Become a real ally Engage in micro efforts that can effect change on a macro level Create an environment that fosters a sense of belonging for everybody; that is, 'get in where you fit in' Abolish groupthink and create space for diverse ideas Design explicit feedback channels Generate truly inclusive policies that people can trust Spot and stop bullying (it doesn't always look the way you think it does) Understand that equality isn't equity; the difference leads to everyone getting what they needThis audio product contains a PDF with supporting material, and the PDF is available to download.

Title: The AI Dilemma: 7 Principles for Responsible Technology

Author: Art Kleiner, Juliette Powell

Narrator: Juliette Powell

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 4 hours 54 minutes

Release date: August 15, 2023

Genres: Business & Career Development

Publisher's Summary:

The misuse of AI has led to wrongful arrests, denial of medical care, even genocide-this book offers 7 powerful principles that business can use now to end the harm. AI holds incredible promise to improve virtually every aspect of our lives, but we can't ignore its risks, mishaps and misuses. Juliette Powell and Art Kleiner offer seven principles for ensuring that machine learning supports human flourishing. They draw on Powell's research at Columbia University and use a wealth of real-world examples.   Four principles relate to AI systems themselves. Human risk must be rigorously determined and consciously included in any design process. AI systems must be understandable and transparent to any observer, not just the engineers working on them. People must be allowed to protect and manage their personal data. The biases embedded in AI must be confronted and reduced.   The final three principles pertain to the organizations that create AI systems. There must be procedures in place to hold them accountable for negative consequences. Organizations need to be loosely structured so that problems in one area can be isolated and resolved before they spread and sabotage the whole system. Finally, there must be psychological safety and creative friction, so that anyone involved in software development can bring problems to light without fear of reprisal.   Powell and Kleiner explore how to implement each principle, citing current best practices, promising new developments, and sobering cautionary tales. Incorporating the perspectives of engineers, businesspeople, government officials, and social activists, this book will help us realize the unprecedented benefits and opportunities AI systems can provide.
