McKinsey presents a very compelling case on the opportunity and risk of generative AI. Sean Bennett and I were discussing this topic after I posted my article on AI and Inclusive Economic Development in the American Diversity Report. #GenAI #Inclusiveeconomy #MobilityMatters

I love efficiency and am intrigued by AI. Recently, I've been pondering whether community governance can adequately prevent AI from widening economic gaps or if AI poses a potential threat to exacerbate existing disparities. Excitedly, I came across a report on the impact of generative AI on black communities. The report recognizes socioemotional learning as a future-proof skill, which is reassuring to me. What do you think of this article? #AI #economicdisparities

Check out this article from McKinsey & Company on how generative AI impacts Black communities. The article discusses the risk of Generative AI on widening the economic gap, as well as also the potential for significant positive change in sectors such as healthcare and finance. We are at a crucial moment for harnessing this technology equitably. Read more here - https://lnkd.in/gyeqNhGj #GenerativeAI #TechEquity #EconomicMobility

An article by my colleagues is worth a read. They explore the various metaphors used to describe AI and the possible cultural behaviors in an organization resulting from how we define our AI Systems.

"choosing the right metaphor matters: People’s attitudes and behaviors are informed by the metaphors we use to communicate. Metaphors don’t just serve to make sense of our reality—they help shape it." Aren't metaphors always wrong when people are not educated to receive and build thinking from them ? May be leaders should prioritize complexe thinking over mind strinking communication tips. https://lnkd.in/e4Hz4_Wg

This year #iwd2024 focused on #diversityandinclusion. Responsible AI is game changer and gives companies a competitive edge. However, "[t]he phenomenon of human bias creeping into AI models is well-known and well-documented." As AI becomes more prevalent in our daily lives, it is important to remember that identifying and mitigating bias is essential to all diversity and inclusion efforts. Some helpful tips here.

This article hits at my sweet spot: narrative + relationship + strategy. How does the narrative we construct around AI shape the relationship we will have with it? Companies should choose their metaphors wisely, I agree, although this only feels like the tip of the iceberg. One question I’m holding: how will companies put a stake in the ground—that is, choose wisely and run with it—when it seems likely they might have to rip it out of the ground to replace it with a new one when the technology and our use of it evolves? We need to explore the narratives that are specific enough to be evocative, but capacious enough to allow for change.

AI is only as good as what goes into it. Diverse experiences and viewpoints are vital to making it useful.
