OCTOBER 2025Inclusive Future

AI is transforming how we work, create, and innovate - but who is it designed for?
Without a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) lens, AI and gamification can reinforce existing biases instead of breaking barriers.

Together, we will discuss the challenges and opportunities in building a more equitable digital future.

Highlights:

What is DEI and Unconscious bias
Bias in AI: How data and algorithms can reinforce discrimination—and how we can fix it
Understand the unique challenges and opportunities for integrating DEI into AI and gamification
AI for Good: Tools that promote accessibility, equity, and representation in STEM
How to ensure diverse voices shape the future of technology
