Women’s Forum for Economy and Society

Headquartered in Paris and with global influence, the Women’s Forum for the Economy & Society is the leading international platform for action highlighting women’s voices and vision and creating a more inclusive future for all. 

 

 

 

  • They build an active community of more than 30,000 engaged ambassadors, including business and political leaders, along with international organisations, experts and civil society. 
  • They provide unparalleled opportunities for them to develop together inclusive solutions to the most pressing challenges facing humanity as a whole – not only gender -, such as economic empowerment, access to health, climate action and technology for good.
  • They are committed to accelerating the transformation of the world by pioneering in promoting the increasing role of women in the economy and society at all levels.
  • They develop international multi-stakeholder dialogues, launching calls to action and encouraging decision makers in both private and public sectors to engage for impact and implement concrete initiatives. Our policy proposals aim also to enrich the agenda of high-level negotiating tables and summits, such as the G7 and the G20. 
  • They gather leaders, change-makers, both women and men to amplify our commitments and actions. Our Meetings, which span across all continents around the globe, leading up to our flagship Global Meeting in Paris, have become an unmissable and unparalleled date on the international conference calendar – a place to be and to be heard.

 

The Women’s Forum for Economy and Society envision a world where women are equal leaders in business and policy decision-making, driving inclusive solutions not only for women disproportionately impacted by socio-economic and environmental issues, but also to build thriving economies and societies.

About the project:

 

The use of AI within HR is on the rise. This includes the use of talent and performance analytics, workplace monitoring, as well as the increasing use of recruitment technology. These rapid changes within the workplace are impacting the opportunities of millions of people and actively shaping the labour market, with the potential to worsen socio-economic inequalities. While there has been a lot written on this topic from both industry and academia, there has been very little discussion or dialogue between the two.

 

This project hopes to lay the foundation for future research on this topic through holding a panel discussion which includes speakers from both the tech industry and from academia. This discussion will be driven by practical questions on the challenges and opportunities of AI in HR settings, in particular AI recruitment technology. The panel will discuss how and why these technologies have emerged, how they are designed, and how they intersect with issues such as discrimination, bias, data privacy and protection, consent, and wellbeing. The event is open to the public as well as those in industry and academia.

 

This panel discussion aims to raise awareness about these technologies, to stimulate a dialogue between academia and industry, and to act as a catalyst for further conversation and potentially even collaboration between academia and industry surrounding AI in HR.

 

The panel event will take place on Zoom at 6-7pm GMT (UK time) on the 24th November 2021. You can register here or through the OII website.
