This Tuesday, we kickstarted our D&I Fireside Chat series, a quarterly interactive forum featuring leaders who have broken glass ceilings and forged success in the technology industry. In our first edition of this series, we explored the theme of “Celebrating trailblazing women in tech: Pathways to success”. With the growing conversations around artificial intelligence in the industry, we welcomed Frincy Clement, Principal Data Scientist, ADP and Ivey Chiu, Program Manager - Special Projects and Innovation, TELUS as our panelists, both of whom are trailblazers in the field and serve as inspiring role models for women in technology. Here’s a snapshot of what they had to share: “If you look at any AI system, humans have a lot of influence. AI algorithms are built around how humans think, and that includes our inherent beliefs and biases. Having a diverse team improves creativity and inclusivity in the decisions we make. We’ll think of things we never thought about before because we have new perspectives in the group. In other words, to build a diverse and inclusive future of AI, we need to have more diversity in AI leadership." – Frincy Clement “It takes experience to recognize microaggressions or unconscious biases as a woman in AI. You may not realize it until days or weeks after it occurred, when you can't go back to address it. You can only move forward and address it if it comes up again." – Ivey Chiu A tremendous thank you to all our team members for your thoughtful questions, our team for working diligently to organize this experience, and most importantly, our two talented panelists. #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #TeamTELUS #LetsMakeTheFutureFriendly #WomenInSTEM

Really proud to have been a part of such a fascinating and important discussion. I was encouraged to hear so much good work already being done to support a more diverse AI workforce in the UK's Financial and Professional Services sector. The tech is certainly transformative. So many of us will need to upskill/reskill and fast. Good to know lots of very bright folks are working to make the pathway to new and/or augmented AI careers achievable, especially for women. Thanks to our fabulous Chair, Claire Tunley, for effortlessly navigating from AI Bias and technical issues, to business cases for retraining, to upskilling/reskilling programmes and how to improve them. #upskilling #reskilling

Women are projected to be disproportionately impacted by advancements in AI. According to a McKinsey study, women are 1.5 times more likely to need to move into new occupations than men due to AI & automation. This is because women are overrepresented in areas such as food services, customer service, sales, and office support - jobs that are most expected to shrink due to AI & automation.

🔍 Exploring 'The Digital Imperative': Unpacking the Consequences of Failing to Diversify the Digital Workforce in Finance Last week, the City of London held its second discussion in our ongoing series, The Digital Imperative. In this session, 'Digital skills - Consequences of failing to diversify the digital workforce,’ we debated the role of diversity in combating AI bias within the financial services sector. The exam question: how can a diverse team prevent AI bias? Lots to unpack on bias and the blockers for career transitions, but we can and must do better to enhance the inclusivity of our teams and pave the way for fairer, more inclusive financial services products. Many thanks to our amazing participants, whose expertise and insights made this event enlightening and inspiring. Let’s continue to champion diversity, empower women in tech, and drive positive change in the digital realm. More to come from City of London on this soon – watch this space!
