Join Levyl and
Mamamia for an evening exploring how technology is reshaping recruitment and how People & Culture leaders can ensure AI supports, not undermines, diversity and inclusion.
Inspired by Levyl’s recent report, AI Decoded: Understanding Bias in AI-Enabled Talent Acquisition, this event examines how artificial intelligence is transforming the way organisations find, assess, and select talent - and the growing risks of bias within these systems.
As AI becomes central to hiring, business leaders must ask:
how do we harness its power without amplifying discrimination?
Join Levyl and Mamamia to discuss the impact on Global DEI practices in the wake of the US election and the future of inclusive leadership.
This event will focus on how global DEI trends have been politicised and influenced in the lead-up to the US election and how this will shape leadership and workplace practices in Australia and beyond.
As the world’s eyes are on the US and their upcoming election, our panel discussion will present differing viewpoints that highlight the opportunities and challenges that lay ahead for business leaders and People & Culture professionals in an evolving landscape.
