The BIAS project: Mitigating diversity biases of AI systems in the workplace
Launched in November 2022 and co-funded by the European Union and the Swiss Government, the BIAS project aims to identify and mitigate diversity biases in AI applications within the labour market, particularly in HR management. To achieve this, our cross-sector, multi-disciplinary consortium seeks to deepen understanding of diversity bias, AI fairness, and current technologies.
Additionally, the project actively trains stakeholders involved in designing and using these technologies. The BIAS Consortium engages in a range of activities, including co-creation workshops, expert interviews, surveys, and capacity-building sessions. Finally, it is developing an innovative tool to help HR professionals detect and mitigate bias in AI-driven recruitment and selection processes.
Why this program is essential for people performing HR-related tasks:
AI is transforming the workplace, but its potential to perpetuate biases – whether gender, race, or socio-economic status –requires careful attention. By participating in this capacity-building session, participants will gain the tools and knowledge needed to shape the future of responsible AI in HR.
What participants will learn:
- Understand bias and its effects on diverse identities.
- Critically assess AI tools in HR and their potential and limits.
- Address ethical challenges and create fair, inclusive AI.
- Balance AI insights with human judgment for fair outcomes in the hiring process.
What’s included in the session:
- Case study analysis: Dive deep into real-world examples of AI-driven recruitment challenges and discuss the impact on diverse candidates.
- Self-reflection exercises: Identify your personal biases and explore how they influence decision-making in HR.
- Practical sessions: Engage with AI tools and techniques that will help you integrate AI into your recruitment processes responsibly.
