In this edition of #FSRDebates, the discussion will focus on the gender dimension of workplace equality and inclusion policies. While employers acknowledge the significance of these policies and strive to incorporate them into their practices, their effectiveness isn’t always guaranteed and, at times, may even yield less favourable outcomes. For instance, despite the initial adoption of AI by companies with the anticipation of impartial decision-making, current research indicates that AI frequently displays biases learned from human data, consequently reinforcing gender inequalities.
We will be joined by ACER’s Silvia Manessi, Team Leader, Human Resources Management, who will delve into the complexities of defining and implementing effective gender balance and inclusion policies. She will explore these challenges from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Elena Pisanelli, PhD Candidate at the EUI, will present her thesis on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in hiring and their impact on gender inequality in the labour market. The presentations will be followed by a panel discussion.
